Sarah,
Regarding your point:
"4. Wide deployment. Our software developers use open source software to
write code for Linux boxes. They like OpenOffice.org and are amenable to
trying it out in lieu of MS Word, thus potentially saving the company
big bucks in future upgrades."
Much bigger bucks, in fact, if their work is all programming for
Linux--using OpenOffice.org, they might not need a Windows box (or a
dual-boot) at all.
