Thanks for the blog: this is really helpful. We have just started last week, and I thought a travelog for our company's journey to Open Source would be good.

Honestly I see <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/groove/HA101672641033.aspx" rel="nofollow">Groove</a> as a quantum leap for knowledge workers but.. how many organizations are going to take advantage of it any soon?

I used a friend's computer recently. He had MS Office 2007 and I didn't recognize any of the icons or menus...talk about confusing! It's a good thing I knew the keyboard shortcuts. I think you make a great point that the change from Office 97/2003 to 2007 is a pretty dramatic learning curve, so "it's different" isn't a good enough reason for companies to reject OO.
