Not sure why not for profits will do that any better than profit making companies. Basically a not for profit still needs a revenue source to cover operating costs. It needs business models that are not based on selling software licenses. I did some training yesterday not specifically related to OOo but OOo went down very well with the teachers involved when I showed them how to get it and why it would be useful to them. I get paid for doing that training so its sustainable. I can't see any economic reason for a system builder installing MS Works on a computer instead of OOo unless M$ is actually paying them to do it.
