"some" is the operative word, I believe, as there are still too many formatting incompatibilities with the normal business world. Would be nice to see a good poll on it.

Some have moved to Open Office too from what I hear. Non profits can afford buying MS Office since it's so cheap.

Last place I worked looked at it but the legal eagles on the main campus put a fast and painful stop to local management even going beyond the asking phase. What I was told was this was fine for use by students but faculity and staff that had access to or was creating patentable/copywritable/sellable documents or work or worked with any confidential information of any form would be sued by the University if they exposed any of the confidential information to Google or any other outside body which may or could result in loss of marketablity of the work. This was a couple of years ago when Google got caught doing something that cost someone/group money because of a loss of confidentiality of information. I doubt Google has changed their practice just made it more difficult to trace it back to them.
