Microsoft vs. Open Office: Getting to the Bottom of It, Once and For All

[Sofaspud]

I don't believe in being flippant when someone's asking a valid question, so I'll answer the "what if I'm using Office 2003" bit honestly here.
First, this: Office Compatibility Pack
Then, this:: Instructions for ODT support
I myself am still using Office 2000, as noted previously.  I don't feel the need to upgrade just for shiny bells and whistles, especially not at the price point Microsoft wants.
