We use both MSO and LibO... MSO in most cases is "preferred" because it 
start faster. We have also some programs that generate doc documents 
with a collage process. In this case we should convert all procedures

I introduced a lot of open source software in the company with good 
results :)   but in some fields there is much resistance to change 
(understandable)
