Lies + false perceptions. You mean like your bullshit headline?
So a company that specializes in open source solutions surveys it's
own customers that are already using open source software. Two out-of
three of it's own open source customers are still using MS-Office.
This is a very selective survey. It's basically surveying companies
that are interested in open source software. And as the article
says... it is NOT an unbiased view of the greater world. And even in
this selective biased view... only 24% even bother with open office.

One of the recent additions to the portfolio is Alfresco's Open Source
Barometer. This is not an unbiased view, since it consists of an opt-
in survey of Alfresco's customers. Because they are using Alfresco's
products, they are more likely to be deploying other open source
applications. And the fact that they bothered taking part suggests a
certain enthusiasm which is likely to skew the results yet further.
