I’ve noticed that computers sold through supermarkets often show OpenOffice’s inclusion or “Microsoft Office Compatible Office Suite”, and the transition for them painless, and this will help lever OpenOffice into the corporate enviroment. Is a “Works” killer or a “Office Warez” killer, and I mean that as in a *bundled* application for home users, and for them is a replacement for Office *now*. IMO where OpenOffice succeeds best and will be most successful. Or even the real killer…people are familiar with it. Or the fact that Office is so damn good, and has been for years. Thats without compatibility issues, with Microsoft own proprietary formats. Its not one niggle its 100’s like this one. There are lots of reason why, OpenOffice is not going to find its way into corporations easily. I cannot see recommending switching to OpenOffice until *my users* feel they have their particular needs fulfilled, or have another compelling reason to so.” An example of this is syncing audio and video to a presentation using Impress. I would find it difficult to recommend OpenOffice even though it has its own benefits. I have several users that rely heavily on obscure parts, of various packages.

“OpenOffice is unbeatable in price, but in a *work* environment. The reality of the post, had at best tentative relevance. The voting system is not perfect, but its pretty good.
