StarOffice? The Suite?
Both of these are good (in fact, I got to OO by way of StarOffice), but really, any of the three are a worthy replacement for MSO.

Remember that WE are the GEEKS, so we see the differences, but most users don't ever need any more power than OO gives them. Given that, and given the increasing amount of attention that OO is getting, we should mention OO as the replacement for MSO.

This, of course, doesn't count if you are an IT manager or consultant, who prefers and will be supporting StarOffice or the Suite to your users. But for the rest, our first job is to wean them away from MSO inthe first place, and people are hearing about OO -- so we should use that momentum.
