MS is continuing to step up activities of BSA around the world, both in
places like Sweden and Pakistan:

What kind of ways can we ride on this and use it to promote
OpenOffice.org?
Presumably in places like Sweden MS is going after businesses and private
persons who have chosen to stay with Office 97 or Windows NT rather than
coughing up for the lastest and most expensive. They'll be easy marks for
MS because of the combination of almost impossible to meet requirements
the BSA has for proof of valid sw licenses and the long time elapsed since
the purchases.
However, I can't help but think there is some way we can ride on this and
exploit it to our advantage, especially if combining forces with outher
groups. Ubuntu comes to mind as one.
