Sorry if I am missing something, but why wouldn't these people use an
unlicensed copy (cracked if necessary) of the "real thing", i.e. MS
Office, then, if it is not illegal?
Imagine trying to convince them to use OOo: "OK, I see you are using
an unlicensed copy of Windows, oh well, that is legal in your country,
and MS is evil anyway, so I don't mind. Now, look at what I have here,
lovely office software which is almost as good as MS Office, and it
doesn't cost anything! And it is Open Source! Don't you want to use
it, please? Please?"

Win XP is also still widely used by people who post in the Dutch nl
community forum to report problems with installing the latest version of
OOo. I doubt very much that those people post from a developing country.
Then again, those people will have a fully upgraded system with SP3,
yes, that's the latest.
