Years ago, Apple did this by donating Apple IIs to schools and user groups. Many schools around the country were very Mac centric. With the price of MS Office today, one can just about buy a whole new computer with Linux and Star Office preinstalled for the price of just one MS Office. It is important today for Sun (Star Office), Corel (Word Perfect et. al.) and Applixware to be agressive in the M$ compatibility.
They should also support read/write for each others format (if they don't already). ie. Star Office should be able to write a document out and Word Perfect should be able to read it in, edit and write it back out.

M$ is also entrenched in the colledge and school system.
