An OpenOffice.org press release on PRWeb announces, “The OpenOffice.org Community passed the ten million downloads mark for the latest version of its software, just four weeks after the launch on October 13th.”

John McCreesh elaborates: “We were delighted to hit a million downloads in the first two days. Four weeks later, we have hit ten million, and we are still seeing an amazing 250,000 – 350,000 downloads a day. For a community with no advertising budget, this is an astonishing level of product awareness around the world.”

This is the fastest download rate of any version of OpenOffice to date, and has probably only been exceeded by Firefox 3 among all open source software downloads. (See more download statistics here.)
