  Yeah. We are still reluctant to recommend linux as an office
  platform, although we have had contacts from organizations who
  wish to set up a subdivision of the business with linux boxes and
  servers as a test case.

  However, on the desktop side, my wife, my sister-in-law and two of
  my sons (none of which are geeks) have come to prefer ubuntu over
  windows.

  And at Procomm Alaska, whenever someone can't open a docx
  formatted document, they redirect it to a linux box with OO,
  open the doc, save it in an earlier Word format and they are good
  to go...
