I think this in general is a great idea. However, I would /suggest/, instead of sending them a file. "If you can't open this, fix it. Download a better office suite." Personally I think that MSO is great. As long as you don't have to pay for it out of your own wallet. :-D I have been quite successful distributing CDs and USB disks that say "Click here to open the file" and below that "Click here to open the file if you have Microsoft <insert MS product name here>". I think that would be a better idea. Maybe have a section about "What is OO.o?"/"The advantages of OO.o"?
