Thanks for detailing your conversion to OpenOffice.

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.
