Short answer, nothing.
Long answer, end users whine about the interface being different. Menu
shortcuts and menu style/location of options are different. "But I'm
productive using Excel and with this I have to search for how to do my
job!"
In my experience, if anyone (like a manager or boss) "gets" the real
Office software on their system, and the "underlings" get the free Libre
or OpenOffice, there is a stigma with the free software...if you get a
copy of the Microsoft version installed on your system, it means you are
special and important enough to deserve the $200 expense. Given enough
time, that filters throughout the organization and newbies pick up on it
right away. "How do I get office installed and this Libre crap removed?"
"Well, you whine about how it slows you down and you can't do your job..."
I would challenge people, when they would ask to be "upgraded" to office...
"Why? What can you NOT do with what you have now? Just show me one thing
and I'll install office."
They never could/did. (Well, one lady did point out that you can't embed
ActiveX controls in a spreadsheet in LibreOffice. Touche!)
I gave up fighting it. They want to contribute to MSoft's retirement
cache, so be it.

Following on from the discussion of office suites, we have just started
to test this suite with a few users.

Seems to be more lightweight that the full OO suite and opens .DOCX
.XLSX etc.
Looks like a good choice for home use.
Anyone used it?
What's wrong with using LibreOffice or OpenOffice?
