When you join an international company such as Capgemini, you can work in the US, but also in most European countries (e.g. UK, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany...). In most european countries you can find clients that are OK with working in English such that a second language is not required. You'll only have to be open to the 'continental' view on the US, but if you try hard enough, you'll understand it;-)
If you want them to listen to you, you have to act as a professional!
First ask them their requirements:
Hardware: what is the current or future hardware it will run on.
Software: OS (obviously Windows here), should there be relationships with other soft,...? (brainstorm on this one)
What is the practical purpose of the software, what will be done with it and what should one be able to learn with it.
What is the vision behind the purpose (e.g. understand how a word-processor works, just be able to use Word afterwards,...?
Managebility of the software.
Probably still many others (look around in all these answers.
You give them a prepared list of requirements on which they can add/delete stuff.
Once you have this, you can put some word-processors next to it (make that in an excel sheet and make some graphs on it). Also put others in it like WordPerfect, Lotus Notes,...
Don't forget pricing ofcourse.
Present a summarized report to them and probably OpenOffice will be better than MS Word according to THEIR requirement.
In that way, they have no point in resisting, and they will know it.
Good luck and let us know how it went!!

BugTraq No Longer Able To Publish MS Security Holes
The problem is not that they can't publish the security bulletin, but they don't want to anymore.
All companies do a full disclosure and Microsoft is not willing to do this anymore so the moderator doesn't post the security bulletins anymore.
It's just like it has always been. If there exists an unwritten (or even written) standard, then Microsoft wants to change it!
There's a policy and even Microsoft has to obey that!
So, Elias, you are right and MS is wrong! Don't crack under their pressure!
It is done the other way around. Marcel Heymans (Director of the IFPI Belgium) goes online on Napster and tries to find music of Belgian artists. If he can download such music from your computer (and thus you are offering music to the community) then you get a warning.....and you go into his favorites;p.
Next weeks he tries again and if he finds your computer offering again, you lose your account! And yes, he likes it even more when it's a student. An example
It's that simple.
The drawback to PDF is that PDF files tend to be huge and you'll be stuck paying for the software to write the PDF file (only the reader is free). There is such a thing as ps2pdf and texi2pdf
...for the most part they do not want broadband...
The question is 'what is broadband'. My parents are on the net with a 56K modem and they complain more and more because of the slow speed. Well, speed, if they click on something they want to see it immediately, they don't want to wait. So they should move on to... cable, you say?
And then, after gifs and jpegs, mp3's and especially mpegs are coming. We'll want to look at movies (Video on demand) and that's when broadband is needed.
People just want everything to be there fast. And if a movie has to be there fast, the network should be capable to have big bursts of megabits. A mpeg movie takes about 128Kb/s. So, even with my cable modem i can't look at one (i have only 80K/s:So we definitely need it!

Oh, yes!
In Belgium, digital signing is legal and is already being used by many organisations (be it internal or external).

Too bad you can only understand English :p
