The total costs of all that would be FAR lower by converting from Office 
2003 or any of its predecessors to LO compared to converting to Office 
2007/2010.....users could at least get going almost immediately with LO 
whereas the new ribbon seemed to be almost unfathomable to a lot of 
people, so yes, going from one version of MS Office to a SIMILAR version 
(as in Office XP to Office 2003 or Office 2007 to 2010) I agree. Going 
from a menu-based Office to a ribbon-based Office no, I don't agree.
