preinstalled on almost any new laptop.

They sure will want Linux on their office desktop too, but *being*
able to actually install and use it is an entirely different matter.
OpenOffice and Linux aren't really usable, for example, in all
companies where there is a heavy use and circulation of complex
(formatting wise) .doc files

I do hope you're right, but this is the same thing Linux users were
saying in 1996, when KDE and Gnome appeared. Counting on software and
students growing up won't be enough, I'm afraid.
