MS Office is estimated to have 100 million users. For Sun to begin to challenge MSFT, the numbers will need to go up by a factor of 10. If, and when the download numbers cross a
million, we may see a negative impact on MSFT, IMHO.

There are 4,000,000 StarOffice users globally. If Sun can move 400,000 per week under various circumstances (download, CDs, OEM, ISVs), that would be a run rate of nearly 2 million per month.

Then, there's the portal product in October...
