I've been up for way too long but from a user's perspective the differences between a free as in beer version of MS office and OpenOffice.org are:

* OpenOffice.org is free in it's entirety, AFAIK MS Office will not.
* OpenOffice.org is under an OSI approved license and will thus practically remain for ever so, while usage terms of MS Office allow it to play fair only while it needs to do so.

IMHO, we should present this move as a consequence of OpenOffice.org been widely used today, thus pressing upon the issue of continuing the same momentum for the community's benefit.

I'll go finish my beer and java code now.

Cheers,

Manos
