RE: It's not surprising.

The increased cost of the premium Office doesn't provide much that corporations need.

The reason so many businesses use office is because so much of the other software they use is often tied to office, usually word or excel. A lot of ERP software also will have direct ties to office so in that sense it does provide exactly what corporations need.

Of course I suppose you could give the power users office and others OO but then you get into issues of compatibility and there's also the problems related to the percieved status if you get OO instead of Office. That can lead to awkward internal political issues.

That is why office is so ubiquitous in business.
