+&lt;p&gt;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 &#39;filetype:odt&#39; and equvalent terms, and got these
+results:&lt;/P&gt;
+
+&lt;table&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Type&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;ODF&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;MS Office&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Tekst&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odt:282000&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;docx:308000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Presentasjon&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odp:75600&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;pptx:183000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Regneark&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ods:26500	&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;xlsx:145000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;/table&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Next, I added a &#39;site:no&#39; limit to get the numbers for Norway, and
+got these numbers:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;table&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Type&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;ODF&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;MS Office&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Tekst&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odt:2480	&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;docx:4460&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Presentasjon&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odp:299	&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;pptx:741&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Regneark&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ods:187	&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;xlsx:372&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;/table&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I wonder how these numbers change over time.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+
+&lt;table&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Type&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;ODF&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;MS Office&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Tekst&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odt:129000&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;docx:308000&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Presentasjon&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odp:44200&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;pptx:93900&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Regneark&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ods:26500	&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;xlsx:82400&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;/table&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;And with &#39;site:no&#39;:
+
+&lt;table&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Type&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;ODF&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;MS Office&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Tekst&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odt:2480&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;docx:3410&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Presentasjon&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;odp:175&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;pptx:604&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Regneark&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;ods:186	&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;xlsx:296&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
+&lt;/table&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Interesting difference, not sure what to conclude from these
+numbers.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;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
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://global.bsa.org/globalpiracy2008/studies/globalpiracy2008.pdf&quot;&gt;siste
-rapport&lt;/a&gt;, og det er flere kritiske kommentarer publisert de siste
-dagene.  Et spesielt interessant kommentar fra Sverige,
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.idg.se/2.1085/1.229795/bsa-hoftade-sverigesiffror&quot;&gt;BSA
-höftade Sverigesiffror&lt;/a&gt;, oppsummeres slik:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;
-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. &quot;Man bör nog kanske inte se de här siffrorna som helt
-exakta&quot;, säger BSAs Sverigechef John Hugosson.
-&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Mon tro om de er like metodiske når de gjetter på andelen piratkopiering i Norge?  To andre kommentarer er &lt;a
