Low-cost laptops drive OOo adoption



Perspectives:The majority of people has not chosenan office suite, yet!

It took more than a quarter of a

century to reach the first billionusers, but with advancing technology,lower prices, and global demand fora technology-aware population, it willtake only seven years to reach thenext billion.

Obstacles for the adoption of OOo

FUD> A change is scary if it can't be calculated completely

> Go with the market leader! 1980: "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM hardware."

V2.0: Nobody will get fired for buying Microsoft software.

> Best to fight with positive examples http://www.metamorphosis.org.mk/content/view/1279/4/lang,en/

Costs of change which are real?> New user interface and new work flows can require user training

> Users will need more training for MS Office 2007 than for OpenOffice.org

> Quality of change management is important

An open standard freesdocuments and prevents the

user lock-in created byproprietary file formats

Freedom of documents

You should have the right to own your owninformation. It's your intellectual capital and you

worked hard to produce it for your citizens. Sundoesn't own it, Microsoft doesn't own it, you own it,and that means it should be living in a nice, long-lived, non-proprietary data format that isn'tanyone's competitive weapon.

Perspectives

Modern information technology has turned the world into a village with amazingspeed. It links people and builds bridges in a way which even quite recently we wouldhave believed impossible.

An open, unhindered exchange of information in all areas of life is of fundamentalimportance for today's knowledge-based society. It is an important foundation for our

shared objective: a peaceful, democratic, pluralistic society. The Open DocumentFormat, as a completely open and ISO-standardized format, is an excellent vehiclefor the free exchange of knowledge and information in the globalized age.
