I didn't see the original article at first. It seemed like the first step of a
gradual migration to GNU/Linux. Only OpenOffice.org was mentioned because
Erwin is 'the OOo guy' at Sun.
...Also, he has been raving about those Linux laptops but only because they
come with OOo. So this turns out to be good news for Linux, not just
OpenOffice.org and FOSS. Included in the OP are other recent stories of
migration to Linux. They must be looking at their peer to find successful
migration. It's the domino effect.
