I have been an MS Office user for a long time, I do not see the need to change over to OO right now, but is an option for the future if I feel the need to streamline things a bit and get rid of some of the bloat.
I do very much like the idea of the software and would try it in a minute if I did not already have an up to date version of MS Office installed.
One question I do have is for the poster above who stated that MS is only $14 for students, mind letting some of us other students in on this deal? While my gf does not go to a big school, I still had to drop $150 to get her copy of MS Office for students and teachers (wish I knew of OO then

)
