Heh, I bet some time in the distant future though, when King Larry decrees that 
you'll have to "upgrade" to the free and open-source Oracle Open Office suite 
(Ooo) or pay an extra 10 pints of blood per CPU core in Oracle database 
licensing fees, your monolithic organization with 8000 staff and 30,000 users 
will drop Microsoft Office 2007 pretty fast ;-)

IBM's "Lotus Symphony" office suite, is, I think also based on the OpenOffice 
code base as well, so Micro$oft's Office monopoly is going to be in a world of 
hurt with Oracle / Sun, IBM and the entire Linux / UNIX / BSD / (insert name of 
FOSS operating system here) community descending upon them to rip them apart.
