Chicken or Egg? You are being chicken. But unless others see their 
are options, there will not be any choices. Far too many people in 
the USA think the only option is an M$-Option.

If you find a rounding error/formula translation difference,
it needs to be identified and addressed. Remember: it might not be on the 
OO side.

At $work, I use OpenOffice with spreadsheets, docs, and ppt's from M$-user 
land. The fun part is, many of my overseas customers are now using 
Libre/Open Office at work, some on Linux.

We have fed and raised the M$-giant, now we must sleep with him.

Got Lube?
