Not a very good test, of course end users are going to still prefer a program they've been using for years over one that they've been using a week. Not only that, StarOffice 5.2 is a pain in the ass, you would of done better to use a recent build of OpenOffice.
A better test, I believe, would of been to made them use OpenOffice and check later to see if they were still able to perform everything they used to do in MS Office, while not taking longer to do it. This would probably require that you take a little longer to run your test (a month or so) instead of a week.

Most banks use OS/2 on their ATM's these days. I know Diebold is one ATM manufacturer that uses OS/2 on their ATM's.
One of the biggest reasons OS/2 is still around is that it is used in half the ATM's across the country.
