Common misconceptions: Just a few off the top of my head.

Linux is difficult to install
Once popular Linux will be as badly affected by viruses as Windows is now
OpenOffice.org has no database
MS XML is open
Documents produced in OpenOffice.org will be incompatible with MSO
If I install OO.o it will stop MSO from working properly
Files produced in OO.o running on Linux will not be compatible with OO.o 
running on Windows.
The total cost of ownership of OpenOffice.org is higher than that for MSO.

Regards,


I was thinking of common misconceptions about OOo, not Linux, but many of these are good starts. Thanks!


About the last one: Has anyone seen any TCO figures for OOo as opposed to MSO?

And one thing I forgot to mention in my last post: At the end of thirty days, the copyright of any article I publish on Newsforge reverts to me. So, if I write the article, I'll release it under an appropriate licence so that OOo can use it.
