The place where Open Office is going through the trials, and meeting it well in my initial pilots, is the IT enterprise. There are several reasons for this. One is that it is the only office suite, other than Star Office, that works on Linux and is compatible with the current inventory of documents, spreadsheets, presentations. The other is topside pressure to reduce expenditures for commodity software. These guys aren't the dummies you IT priests make them out to be. They read the press, talk among themselves and are acutely aware of the business use of a large chunk of change that is currently being absorbed annually in non-productive license. Small organizations that buy onesie-twosies may not see it, but it is highly visible when you are servicing hundreds of thousands of users.
