Such users will also miss facilities present in the new product that they know nothing of. Here's an example. Suppose you want to concatenate the text in two adjacent spreadsheet cells into a single cell. In OpenOffice, you can merge the two cells - when OpenOffice will offer to combine the contents and even helpfully interpose a blank character - and then immediately unmerge them. The combined text ends up in the first cell. Of course you can achieve the same result in Microsoft Excel, but not (I believe) in the same way or indeed anywhere near as easily.
I might add that this feature is not in Calc alone. Writer tables can also merge and split cells. I have used it to create forms with varying width blocks. I am not sure if msWord tables do this.
