Partially, but I think much of it is in response to many postings made
indicating industry support for ODF and irrelevance/inapplicability of
MOOX.

Applications:
	MOOX: 1 or 2
	ODF:	50 or so

 See: 	http://www.opendocumentfellowship.org/applications


Usage outside of originator:
	MOOX: 0 (for all practical purposes)
	ODF: hundreds of thousands

 See: 	http://www.geniisoft.com/showcase.nsf/archive/20070813-1201

Since these observations are backed up, currently, by hard data they
seem to have drawn blood.  The practice MS has in the past will be to
make smoke and noise proclaiming World Love of MOOX in every headline
(regardless of article content) while its minions high and low figure
out how to game the statistics over time.

We *can* press our advantage *now*.  If we wait even weeks, MS will
simply have time to mobilize its boosters in the various "IT"
departments, magazine editors, and write-for-hires.
