Current version MS Office (which is Office 2007) in conjunction with current version Windows (which is Vista) is a fair bit slower on the same hardware than current version Linux and OO.org (say Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and OO.org 2.4).
Tell them they have it exactly the wrong way around.
Linux? You are changing the operating system? Why? Those results are invalid. Benchmarking MS Office 2007 and Openoffice 2.4 on Vista, that is valid and quite interesting.
