Just use both. Train people for both. Tell them that files for one activity are to be opened with OpenOffice and files for another activity are to be opened with LibreOffice.
I'm guessing you have never been on the sharp end of tech support.

Pick an average business user, open Word, hide the formatting toolbar (Old school) or the font toolbar (New School), tell the user to make something bold, watch them phone tech support.

I've held off installing anything newer than office 2003 here at work because the GUI is too different for people to use.

Unilever (Big company - huge) is just now starting to roll out Windows 7 (From XP), it literally takes several months to get a new piece of software approved for roll out around the company (Massive testing to make sure it plays nicely with everything else)
