A computer tech in this area said Open Office is going to start
charging a significant cost for the Open Office suite once the Beta
versions are completed. Is this true?
Probably not... and even if so, the source code will be free and you can bet
that there'll be a huge number of techies who'll make sure the latest OOo
version is available for free. Anyway, it makes little sense to charge money
for OOo -- one of the biggest selling points of OOo is the fact that it's free.
Start charging for it, and everyone will go back to MS Office.

You cannot say that everyone will go back to MS Office. For one, I
would rather pay for OOo than MSO - the former is a much better value
for your money, especially since the source is available, the document
formats open, etc.. Second, MSO does not run on any of the GNU/Linux
distros I run (I'm a Windows-less house/ministry). So, not *everyone*
will go back to MS Office. ;-)
