Yes. StarOffice and KOffice do dominate the market. And the reason being is that Soooo many people use linux, and Ms Office and OpenOffice can't run on linux (with the exception of using wine, which is open source/free, to install Ms Office, or just installing the linux version of OpenOffice--but who's gonna do that).
According to my poll, only a few hundred people use windows. Thousands upon thousands of people use Linux (my best friend; my dog; my grandpa, who is now confused because I overwrote his OS with it)...

jc: it's not a poll, this site just searches the internet and looks through the results to see what people are saying about the topics entered.

@TamusJRoyce What? No one uses linux where I live. Most of the people never even heard about it. BTW, I agree with the hip ranks of every office suite mentioned. And you know what, openoffice is most of the linux OS' default office suite.

Me dog ate all my install cd's, except for FreeBSD which it lovingly installed for me. Yay. Looks like OpenOffice is the next download.
BTW anybody know how to cure linux? Dog's never recovered from that crapware and keeps s!@tting little redhats everywhere.

I'm a huge fan of KOffice for their choices in diverging from the haphazard held-together-by-paperclips "system" of MS Office. They're really stepping out and saying "this is how an office suite should be programmed if we start with a 2010 base of expectations, technology and possibility." Which is all well and good, BUT... ... even I would readily admit it's not even close to comparable as an end-user solution. Even as a huge fan I only use it for about a quarter of what I hope I'd be able to. Honestly give it two years. The potential is absolutely there though and I'm glad it's got a positive spin on its development, but nobody could seriously begin to compare it on real-world usability yet.

can't afford to buy windows and microsoft office, for that money i could buy a better computer.
linux (archlinux) with kde (best desktop manager, better looking than windows), kdevelop, koffice and go-openoffice for getting the best results.
thank you Sun, Oracle, Mysql, Apache, PHP, RedHat, Novel, Canonical and others for helping us to have a free alternative in this expensive world.

Yeah! Arch+KDE4 rules! Me too: Arch x86_64+KDE4 with KOffice and downloading Go-OO :D:D:D
I don't how the poll was made and no matter I'm a Linux user/fan Micro$oft *really* excels with it's new ribbon interface and Office GUI is getting better and better.
Otherwise, you people talking lame about Linux GET A LIFE LOSERS! Seriously, you don't know what your saying xDD as Mark Twain wrote: "It's better to be thinked a dumb than open your mouth and make not doubt about it" hahahaha
Seriously, Window$ and M$ pretty *$UCK$*, they make the operating system, they make the office suite to run on it... and they make both crash!?!? hahahaha, and then there's lot of smart-asses talking dogsh|t 'bout Linux/FreeBSD, something they don't even know of what it goes, hahahahahaha!!!!

I've used Open Office as my main Office suite for nearly a decade now- and I've never been disappointed, it's only when you have a college course that demands .docx that your left a bit out of the loop- but even that can be managed with patience. ;-)

Nice comments from many whom I have to wonder every used any office at all... Be nice to see they day when a comparison is made without all the b.s. Anyways - openoffice has my vote but lets see what happens now that Oracle has purchased Sun...

I think someone is taking crack.
No question about it, Microsoft Office towers above the alternatives. I would like to see OpenOffice do a better job, but Larry Ellison doesn't like the FOSS community. He doesn't just want to win, he wants everyone else to lose.
I believe he will drop OpenOffice, or fold it into StarOffice.
It's unfortunate that the Microsoft OOxml standard was approved. That format, incidentally, was provisional, and was not supposed to be the format for Office 2007. Well, that's what happens. You take away the pressure, and Microsoft leaves it be.
