Perhaps it has already been mentioned in a previous post, but a key to
end-user acceptance will be to drive market share and adoption of the
product as a platform for third-party add-ons by independent developers.
These activities ideally should proceed hand-in-hand.
It creates synergy between market share and end-user adoption especially
as users in vertical markets see opportunities to switch to free
applications in their work areas or industry.
The creation of development kits and organization of forums for
independent developers to share ideas could facilitate this effort.
