"Contrary to the raving of the OpenOffice.org community, StarOffice outperforms the free version. I added fonts and compiled the latest OpenOffice.org but I haven't achieved the performance increases or quality of StarOffice. I have compared StarOffice to every version of Microsoft from version 4.3 to 2003. As a Microsoft Product Specialist, I say that StarOffice exceeds the quality of any MS Office product."

Now that is a powerful message. Sort of goes hand in hand with the statement from InfoWorld on Firefox.

"Trust me on this — I’m no knee-jerk open source bigot. During Mozilla’s long nuclear winter, I stuck with IE because I wasn’t willing to live with compromises. Then the tables turned. Suddenly, IE was the compromise I could not live with. Bugs didn’t get fixed. Standards support didn’t improve. New features didn’t appear. And the last vestige of cross-platform ambition evaporated when IE for the Mac was killed last year. The message is clear: Internet Explorer is dead in the water."

So what do we have to do to get people to start switching, show up to work naked? Scale and gut fish at work?
