We've been using OOo2 exclusively in our office with essentially ZERO

office of 40 users, and with much less file format compatability

Exactly - you've been using a developer snap-shot beta build for 6
months. A
beta build of a program that was supposed to be production ready over a
year
ago. 2.0 is still very much vaporware. I'm sure 2.0 will be great - if
it
ever happens.
And Windows is shipped bug free. :)
My experience with Windows products is I am a glorified beta tester that
has to pay for the benefit to test the product.
I have been using 2.0beta since May and love it. Every person that has
tried OOo has found tht they can do things that they cannot do in Word.
And this is from Word believers. At least the development team is
calling it a beta, unlike MS.
As the biggest problem is Words support for graphics and changing page
formats without the ability to "undo" many of the changes. Many around
where I work have moved to LaTeX or OOo because of problems with
formatting text.
Now if Windows XP was as reliable as OOo 2.0, at least for me. :)
