Of all the arguments presented, in my opinion, these two are the most 
important. It we are to market LibO then we also market ODF by default. 
The ODF is what will change the scene in the US market especially. MSO 
is firmly entrenched, however, the constant complaint that has never 
been fixed is .doc incompatibility from one version to the next. Any big 
organisation has known and lived through it. They know the amount of 
time and expense it takes to update their documents and for all intents 
and purposes, people normally give up.

We are sure to make a difference by offering import filters for old .doc 
files and an ISO format from the ODF that promises the longevity of the 
document file. This will sell.

As a teacher and IT liaison for my school, I know how it feels to have 
40 staff members clamouring for help with the document migration to the 
newer .doc version. Extremely time consuming and frustrating. Not to 
mention 350 students with files in their accounts! And we are a small 
school.
