  The big problem with (Star|Open|Libre)Office has always been scripts
(macros).  Their object model isn't source compatible with VBA, by
design.

  Proprietary software is unlikely to replace Free/Open Source
Software, either.  They've both been around for a looong time, and
co-exist.

  I've wondered about a mix of Lib O and MS O.  A lot of our users can
barely type complete sentences, they wouldn't notice the difference.
It's the IT management overhead, and confusion if someone else uses
their machine, that's stopping me.
