thing is if you have more money to burn than time to migrate MS will always be in business. You pay for the right to point a finger, for professional tech support, and you can't afford to be a rogue and move over to something taht in the longer term may not be usable. This is exactly why MS doesn't make their formats public...obfuscation is over 50% of their business. If they make compatibility too easy they'll lose ground they desperately need to keep. I myself have no need for an office suite, but If I did I would get OO becuase it's free. A business can't risk it in case it doesn't work the exact same or they have format problems with other businesses. Easier to bite the bullet and pay up. When OO can match this single point it will take over.
