Hi, Thanks for sharing! Nice story.
Being the only Linux/Libreoffice user at my workplace I now get requests like: "could you open this MS Word/MS excel 2007/2010 which I can't open on my XP version?" or "I know you have a programme which can save a PDF of this document out of the box... " etc. These IMHO are tangible day-to-day results which are very good points in favour.
