Ask Slashdot: OpenOffice vs. MS Office for Education?
-----------------------------------------------------
"I work in a large high school district where there will be some
discussion on whether or not to purchase another term of 'Software
Assurance' for MS Office licenses on thousands of computers. This seems
to be an ideal opportunity to promote an alternative such as
OpenOffice. It will not be an easy sell, even though OpenOffice should
more than satisfy all curricular needs and save the district lots of
money; like many other districts we have political and cultural
'challenges'. So, I ask you, have you been successful in moving your
education or business organization from MS Office to OpenOffice? What
were the pros and cons from your migration? What advice do you have in
selling this to tech coordinators and administrators who are not
enlightened by Open Source?"
