  21       <div class="title">Relative popularity of document formats (MS Office vs. ODF)</div>
  22       <div class="date">12th August 2009</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>Just for fun, I did a search right now on Google for a few file ODF
  24 and MS Office based formats (not to be mistaken for ISO or ECMA
  25 OOXML), to get an idea of their relative usage.  I searched using
  26 'filetype:odt' and equvalent terms, and got these results:</P>
  27
  28 <table>
  29 <tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
  30 <tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:282000</td> <td>docx:308000</td></tr>
  31 <tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:75600</td> <td>pptx:183000</td></tr>
  32 <tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:26500     </td> <td>xlsx:145000</td></tr>
  33 </table>
  34
  35 <p>Next, I added a 'site:no' limit to get the numbers for Norway, and
  36 got these numbers:</p>
  37
  38 <table>
  39 <tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
  40 <tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:2480 </td> <td>docx:4460</td></tr>
  41 <tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:299   </td> <td>pptx:741</td></tr>
  42 <tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:187       </td> <td>xlsx:372</td></tr>
  43 </table>
  44
  45 <p>I wonder how these numbers change over time.</p>
  46
  47 <p>I am aware of Google returning different results and numbers based
  48 on where the search is done, so I guess these numbers will differ if
  49 they are conduced in another country.  Because of this, I did the same
  50 search from a machine in California, USA, a few minutes after the
  51 search done from a machine here in Norway.</p>
  52
  53
  54 <table>
  55 <tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
  56 <tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:129000</td> <td>docx:308000</td></tr>
  57 <tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:44200</td> <td>pptx:93900</td></tr>
  58 <tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:26500     </td> <td>xlsx:82400</td></tr>
  59 </table>
  60
  61 <p>And with 'site:no':
  62
  63 <table>
  64 <tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
  65 <tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:2480</td> <td>docx:3410</td></tr>
  66 <tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:175</td> <td>pptx:604</td></tr>
  67 <tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:186       </td> <td>xlsx:296</td></tr>
  68 </table>
  69
  70 <p>Interesting difference, not sure what to conclude from these
  71 numbers.</p>
