Microsoft Cannibalizes Itself in Fight for Revenue
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft (MSFT) Office is a cash cow that provides $15+ billion in revenue
| to the company. Thus far it‘s been more immune to open source competition
| than, say, Microsoft server and mobile phone operating systems, which compete
| with Linux and Android (and LiMo and Symbian) respectively.

The Hidden Cost of Microsoft's 'Free' Online Office Suite
,----[ Quote ]
| Likewise with Office 2010 online, you can get some of it for free, but you
| still have to pay a premium if you actually want to make it useful. Free
| online Office 2010 is like getting four free tires without the car, and
| having to pay full price for the car (including the cost of the tires).

OpenOffice.org in Education: Adoption is Gaining Momentum
,----[ Quote ]
| In the coming weeks and months, I hope to share with you a number of these
| success stories. I hope these stories, in part, will let everyone in
| academia know that they are not alone when it comes to their commitment and
| desire to utilize OpenOffice.org to better the lives of their students
| through education. I hope it inspires other educators to share their untold
| stories, as well as open source project volunteers to keep up the good work
| they often thanklessly perform each and every day.
