I think the COO's statement reveals the pressure they're under from
OOo. They have had to retreat up the value chain to some extent, as
Clayton Christianson predicted.
For those to whom the whole "stack" of apps and servers is overkill
(home users, small business, students, etc), MS has less and less of a
competitive advantage.
With all of our other strengths, I still think we'll see the fastest
growth for OOo in these markets.

OpenOffice.org is exactly that, open. OpenOffice.org has many BI
suites like Pentaho, OpenBravo, OpenExpertia etc.
Communication suites like Zimbra or OpenXchange and content servers
like O3Spaces, alfresco.
OpenOffice.org use open standards and connect to less restrictive
software with support and with the choice to easily migrate out
without affecting your data.
The most important point is that Microsoft says: give me your money,
give me your freedom of choice in the future.
And we, by selling services, we are referring only to the first
part ...
when the most important thing for a CIO (or manager) is the second.
IMHO, that is a point that we should show more from the supply of OOo.
