+<p>Just for fun, I did a search right now on Google for a few file ODF
+and MS Office based formats, to get an idea of their relative usage.
+I searched using 'filetype:odt' and equvalent terms, and got these
+results:</P>
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:282000</td> <td>docx:308000</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:75600</td> <td>pptx:183000</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:26500 </td> <td>xlsx:145000</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>Next, I added a 'site:no' limit to get the numbers for Norway, and
+got these numbers:</p>
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:2480 </td> <td>docx:4460</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:299 </td> <td>pptx:741</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:187 </td> <td>xlsx:372</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>I wonder how these numbers change over time.</p>
+
+<p>I am aware of Google returning different results and numbers based
+on where the search is done, so I guess these numbers will differ if
+they are conduced in another country. Because of this, I did the same
+search from a machine in California, USA, a few minutes after the
+search done from a machine here in Norway.</p>
+
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:129000</td> <td>docx:308000</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:44200</td> <td>pptx:93900</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:26500 </td> <td>xlsx:82400</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>And with 'site:no':
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:2480</td> <td>docx:3410</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:175</td> <td>pptx:604</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:186 </td> <td>xlsx:296</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>Interesting difference, not sure what to conclude from these
+numbers.</p>

-<p>Hvert år de siste årene har BSA, lobbyfronten til de store
-programvareselskapene som Microsoft og Apple, publisert en rapport der
-de gjetter på hvor mye piratkopiering påfører i tapte inntekter i
-ulike land rundt om i verden. Resultatene er tendensiøse. For noen
-dager siden kom
-<a href="http://global.bsa.org/globalpiracy2008/studies/globalpiracy2008.pdf">siste
-rapport</a>, og det er flere kritiske kommentarer publisert de siste
-dagene. Et spesielt interessant kommentar fra Sverige,
-<a href="http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.229795/bsa-hoftade-sverigesiffror">BSA
-höftade Sverigesiffror</a>, oppsummeres slik:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-I sin senaste rapport slår BSA fast att 25 procent av all mjukvara i
-Sverige är piratkopierad. Det utan att ha pratat med ett enda svenskt
-företag. "Man bör nog kanske inte se de här siffrorna som helt
-exakta", säger BSAs Sverigechef John Hugosson.
-</blockquote>

-<p>Mon tro om de er like metodiske når de gjetter på andelen piratkopiering i Norge? To andre kommentarer er <a
