What's the benefit from switching from MS lock-in to Google lock-in? Moreover, MS is going to support ODT so no more vendor lock-in. But in the first place, why changing something that works great and that serves its purpose? The price tag is a little expensive, but spread out on a 5-year life-span, the investment is low for a company, compared to other expenses and to what the company earns. There's nothing to win with small savings like that, especially for a business where a file must be readable consistently by all business partners with no tweaks and where people are not supposed to be computer savvy.
