One difference
"As for "transferring information", my approach is don't do it. I just leave everything in Office formats, to allow free exchange of documents, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. You can have the system convert files to xml if you want, but that's entirely optional."

I would (and do) use open formats where possible instead of proprietary ones. There is little a .doc can offer that a .rtf cannot, for example, so all of mt word processors use .rtf by default. Most MS word users never know the difference, but most users of other word processors are very appreciative.
