* It's multi-platform * It's free to them _and_ free to any departments and clients or customers with whom you might share documents * It exports to PDF naively * It can be installed on any machine at any time without concern of licensing issues * I understand it's more secure than Word out-of-the-box, but you might want to double-check that * The suite comes with other software that is also free, e.g. you get PowerPoint-type software at no addition cost As you say, though, I'd make this an exceptionally _minor_ sidenote to your interview.
