How to succeed 

Learning from his own mistakes, Holt offers this advice to IT shops who want 
to dump MS Office for non-Microsoft desktops: 
Remove the outgoing office suite and enforce usage of OpenOffice. "Once 
someone is used to it, they don't go back," Holt said. There has to be 
a "no-going-back policy." 

Talk about success stories to show that others have been able to make the 
change and like it. 

Relate the cost savings to company profitability and potential salary/benefit 
increases.

"OpenOffice is now ready for the workstation, as is The GIMP," Holt said. He 
firmly believes that Linux should not be relegated to the back room.
