Quoting Marc Paré:
And yes, MSO format conversions are not 100% and where there are power users
like Peter, it may be difficult to
rationalize using LibO when his customers are unwilling to adopt an ODF format
which would simply work. There is always
the option for Peter to propose a change in office suite to his clients and
suggest that a free migration to LibO would
save them quite a bit in expenditures and would still provide them with the
same functionality as MSO but using the ODF
formats instead.
My clients are mostly major corporations who don't tend to welcome IT strategy
suggestions from their
suppliers! Sure, they're aware of OO and open source in general but they're not planning to change anytime soon. This is
not because they've been brainwashed by MS; it's mostly because they can't afford (financially and timewise) the risk of
having to re-train thousands of users with the productivity drop that this would involve.
