Ernest, Been running OOo for the past 2 years and it scales very well for me. I am sent files from the MS Office suite on a daily basis but never have I failed to manipulate them in OOo save for one incident when I received files with some rare tables that couldnt be understood by OOo.
I have been enumerating my experiences in the procurement newspaper on the use of OOo. Please see last week's article on the following link: http://www.procnews.com/040816/sfeature.html Forgive the poor writing skills :) Just trying to hone my skills as a columnist.
