Maybe a more *structured* investigtion on this question (MsOffice addoption ODF is good or bad) could help??

Let's see what such an investigation would look like. The objective is to estimate the sizes of two groups of people:

Group 1: People who would like to migrate to OOo but don't because MSO
doesn't support ODF.

Group 2: People who would like to stay with MSO but migrate because they need ODF.

We want to know which group is larger:

* Group 1 includes everyone who thinks that OOo is worth the change except but is worried about interoperability. That is, people who are ready to migrate but are locked in.

* Group 2 includes the people who prefer MSO but feel compelled to migrate to OOo because they require ODF.

Which group is larger? I'm confident that group 1 is much larger. OOo is a very good product and the reason it has less market share than it derserves is that people are locked in by a monopoly.

Best,
Daniel.
