So I still don't see how this is any different than MS Office. You can scan something and have it go into MS Word. And there are plenty of free "Print to PDF" program out there. It's true that MS O doesn't come with any PDF stuff - and it's good that OOo does - but I wouldnt say that being able to scan something "blows MS away".
