As someone who manages Windoze systems in the real world, I can say that our acceptance threshold for Linux is not going to be an Office clone. 90% of our users never install Access or P-Point. Everyone uses Word, and almost everyone needs to be able to use Excel documents. In all cases, these users will be importing data from third party contact managers. Get the Win App support to the point where Windoze and Linux users can all use the same shared documents on the LAN, and more people like me will migrate more users to Linux.
