right. Corporate user are crazy to squander their money on MS Office when they can use Open Office for free. And now.

Any IT department that is concerned about the bottom line wouldn't think twice about deploying Open Office. The money theu would save the company could go to pay raises. Any IT department not deploying office should be cleaned out and replaced with people who care about the company they work for.
