The point is not wheter they would have benefit from using a Free Software like Impress instead of a proprietary software like Powerpoint (I thought I made it clear in my 2 previous emails). The point is Free Software would have made a significant change because, contrary to proprietary software monoculture, you have more choice in Free Software, so you can more easily choose the right tool, not necessarily the tool that Microsoft wants to provide you because Microsoft thinks that this suits your needs. Since when does Microsoft know better than the US military which tool to use in order to establish a solid military strategy? With Free Software, the US Military would have chosen its tool, or if they didn't find it, they would have take an existing tool and modify it to make a better tool to fit their needs. That is a significant difference I guess.
