I use MS Office daily, both at work and at home, but also have to use Open Office when receiving files from some of our overseas offices who don't have MSO. And I have to say, OO is NOTHING like MSO. The capabilities simply aren't there. I regularly use MSO to cut down on the time it takes me to analyze something, which usually involves making a table, feeding the data into a pivot table and feeding that into a pivot chart in Excel 2007. Try to recreate something like that in OO. It's unpossible! I'm more than willing to pay for these capabilities, and so is my employer.
