The small businesses that I do consulting for here in the US all use Microsoft operating systems and office products. At this point, when they order a new PC as either a replacement or an upgrade, they are unable to order Microsoft Office 2003. Microsoft has enough monopoly control to force users to change to the new version, simply by making the old one unavailable. The change to Microsoft Office 2007 will happen, and the change to MOOX will inevitably follow.
