Microsoft stated that customers have to consider risks in OpenOffice.org transition. There are risks such as compatibility, re-usability, re-education of corporate users, increase of corporate support. Microsoft wants to call these as risks, but this means Microsoft itself feels the risks on OpenOffice.org. To users, there is a risk that there is not a perfect compatibility among difference versions of MS Office. There are may companies who have not upgraded because of incompatibilities of MS Office. Also the risk of vendor lock-in should be considered. NIKKEI ITPro, one of Japanese Webzines, did a questionaire, in conjunction with this seminar report, that OOo/SS can substitute MS Office in business purpose, to users who have used OOo/SS, and the result was: * Can substitute Microsoft Office in business purpose ：14.0% * Good enough to substitute Microsoft Office in business purpose ：62.6% * Cannot substitute Microsoft Office in business purpose because of lacks of functionalities, reliabilities and so on ：6.2% * Cannot substitute Microsoft Office in business purpose because of compatibilities with existing documents and transition costs ：12.6% * Misc. ：4.8% http://itpro.nikkeibp.co.jp/free/ITPro/OPINION/20050502/160384/index.shtml - Knoppix-ja continues its own evolution You may aware of Knoppix, which is a CD bootable Linux and inlcudes OOo.
