To be fair, before SO8 finally arrived, it was essentially impossible for Sun's
non-engineers (those in sales, marketing, legal, etc.) to use any office suite
other than Microsoft Office. But with SO8, there will be no excuses.
I guess everyone must have heard the rumor that Google is going to buy a bunch
of Sun's Galaxies to allow its intended/planned (eventually ubiquitous) Wi-Fi
customers run StarOffice/OpenOffice.org. When everyone begins to exchange
OpenDocument files across the net, it will be very difficult to stop
Solaris/OpenSolaris desktops.
When I first got to Sun five years ago there was a fair amount of Office
files flying around here, but mostly from agencies, contractors, and
partners we worked with. A lot of us used to send 'em back and ask for
text. :) There's very little now, though. It's really mostly
StarOffice/OpenOffice these days.
