Well, my boss wrote all of the proposals to the TSA for a contract to provide all of their VPN, Dialup and other such needs in OpenOffice 1.0.1 saving in .doc format and we got that $45 Million dollar contract. He's also communicating back and forth with Microsoft right now in our renegotiations with them over bCentral which we host and all the documents are being exchanged (no pun intended) without any hassle what so ever. The only machines he has are a Sun Ultra10 running Solaris+KDE using OpenOffice and a Toshiba laptop running SuSE and he uses OpenOffice on this machine as well. I'm not to sure what you mean by cheap software not being up to the task. Remember cheap / free doesn't always equal crap.
QUITE! Ford, Europe, dumped MickySoft on all 10,000+ workstations and is using Linux & OO as well. 'Servers are Linux as well. All of these companies don't use something that isn't good.....period.
