It is looking more like Microsoft will not be able to deny a critical mass
Did you notice that there are 22 official languages in India? And they will have a version of OpenOffice in each language eventually. That is hard for Microsoft to compete agains, and a big reason for countries to use OpenOffice. They can do the translation themselves, and do not need to beg Microsoft and wait years. Also, it will be simple to allow multiple languages on each computer with no licensing hassles.

Fun to wach Billy and Stevie squirm.
