There is no migration in OOo.
It is necessary to keep updating MS stuff because the proprietary file format keeps changing _and_ is not documented.
OOo 1.1.n and OOo 2.0 basically use the same format, and it is documented, and access to the data does not necessitates OOo itself.
OOo file format is XML. period. There is not "migration" to XML, only a DTD change.
The difference between staying on MS stuff and changing to OOo has nothing to do with the fact that OOo will evolve.
It is about the file format.

I do agree with Joseph asumtion but then again, this is a migratory 'reason' and
not cost. I mean long term savings are good, but the actual cost to achieve to
savings is what at least employees need to justify, if there is a second or
third migration (OpenOffice.org 1.x to 2.x) is *not* a tiny migration for
example and at least some cost might be involved for a company.
