You seem to not have understood my point.
MS users _have_ to upgrade their applications because the next version document format is not documented.
OOo users don't have to.
Similarly, sx*/od* formated files users don't have to use OOo to use the files since the format is documented XML, there can be tools that directly access and process the data (I use one for work).
This is not possible with MS Office files.
So "migration" within the XML family and within the MS Office family have totally different meanings.
The real issue here is not about "learning" how to use a new interface. It is about having or not reliable access to data.
In OOo, you have, even if you move to OD files, in MS you don't.

There is a migration from 1.1.x to 2.0. The question is whether or not the migration is cost-effective. [Actually, there also is a migration between 1.1.2 and 1.1.3, and 1.1.3 and 1.1.4. In retrospect, for me, it was cost effective to migrate from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 ZA. It was not cost-effective for me to migrate from 1.1.3 ZA to 1.1.4 US, nor to 1.9.96 US.]
