I was doing some initial INGOT training at Sandwich Technology College UK (place where sandwiches were invented :-) ) that has 1000 computers. They intend to migrate 1000 seats to OOo imminently.
Just thought that another success is nice to know about :-) I think quite a lot more schools are using OOo, it's just difficult to get exact numbers. I think as Google docs get better known some will use them too so some competition, although it could be that Google Docs is seen to be complementary to OOo. I did lecture on ICT and enterprise yesterday using Google Docs presentation and it worked well with the advantage that the presentation can be shared immediately with the audience and worked on collaboratively on the web. http://docs.google.com/Presentation?id=df399cxt_0fqfsc5cf A publicly available web based OOo would be a killer app (or Star Office). Maybe Sun could use Global Desktop and some dedicated servers to provide this as a service supported by advertising like Google. That would turn OOo/SO into a web based app with more comprehensive spec than Google docs. All this stuff will migrate from the desktop to the web and people are going to expect it easily accessible and free of charge.
