Not really.and even diehard iOS and Android fanboys are interested in what Microsoft can do with Windows 8.

I've not seen a home computer, home business, or even a large business use Microsoft Office in years (FACT). I think Microsoft Office 2010 was the last Microsoft Office I saw on someone's PC (keep in mind Office 2010 was released end of 2009 for the holiday sales).
Not Microsoft Office or at least mine does not (I know, I worked there as an assistant manager)Ever go to Walmart? If so, they still use Windows .

I believe the office uses Windows 2000 (yes, I hated it) and some of the other computers use Windows XP.Mine uses all different versions of Windows. For the ad system with the tv's etc by every cashier they use 98 iirc. They use Windows 7 in the back for their personal computers and use MS Office to show us announcements in the back.
This isn't typical.Every computer I see now has either Open Office or Libre Office (arguably basically the same thing).
Yes, it is. You are never looking at a cost isolated, you are looking for the total cost. Per employee it might seem small, but in any company with more than one employee this adds up. In addition, you need to administrate licenses, track which ones are in use, renew, add new ones etc etc. Just looking at the cost of the product it self is pointless.This isn't typical.
Less businesses are using Microsoft Office.
The significant majority still use Microsoft Office.
For a $50,000 employee, adding a $500 PC with Office = $650. $150 is nothing.

Microsoft's strongest division right now is its business software group, which includes Microsoft Office. Revenue in that division rose 8% to $5.6 billion, driven predominantly by Office. But steady sales of business integration and messaging software, including SharePoint and Exchange, helped too.
What training?Training people per Office Installation to use new software = $2000+
$150 vs $2000.
Do the math.
Endless IT questions ... my client can't open .odf files ? etc. etc. $150 = chump change.

That's illion with a B
BTW.
FWIW ... I use Word 2003 and Excel 2007 with a touch of Outlook 2007. Works fine for me. I don't change ... because changing software will cause me to have to train my employees on the new software. Time = expensive.
There are incompatibilities between the software though, especially when things are saved from Libre Office. It might have been changed since they've switched to the Libre Office project, but when it was under Open Office I got grilled over using it back when I was in college.What training?
Do you know how to use Microsoft Office? If yes, you know how to use Libre Office. The layout is the same and yes, it can indeed open every file format that Microsoft can (even a few MS Office can not).
