Allready migrating clients away from MS Office. My preference is Open Office.
I think Open Office 3.0 will be a great milestone for migrating especially in Win/Mac mixed environments. Just hope they get the file save dialogue in Vista sorted as it is crap at the moment (can't save a file through Vista native dialogues and have to use OO file handling dialogues instead).

The concern I see for OS X is whether it's OS X 10.5 or greater compatibility only, thus forcing people to upgrade from a very stable Tiger, just to run OpenOffice 3.0 natively in Cocoa.
