It is however interesting to note that many organizations already have the Office 2007 licenses, via software assurance, being an MS partner, or action / value packs, yet have chosen not to deploy it anyway.

I was the biggest Microsoft flagwaver for many years however recently I had my eyes opened big time to OpenOffice and the costs associated with going with OO. Well the product is free and it does almost 90% of what Microsoft Office does for the average user. Fork over almost $500 for Office, most small business owners will tell you to go pound salt. Show them OpenOffice and they love you.

I am now a very happy OO user.

Cheers
