+Title: Relative popularity of document formats (MS Office vs. ODF)
+Tags: english, nuug, standard
+Date: 2009-08-12 15:50
+
+<p>Just for fun, I did a search 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>Wonder how these numbers change over time.  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.</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>
