As a business that works with outside corporations and governments, we really don't have a choice about moving. We also rely heavily on macros in our templates to ensure accurate results and a look and fell that meets corporate standards. While it is possible to convert these into full applications, the cost is unreasonable.

If the market could produce compatible suites that are 100% compatible, including macro code, there would be an alternative. At the moment, there doesn't appear to be any.

As I work on budgets among other things, I know the cost of Office licenses is not as onerous as many think. Wages and other costs trump far out-way them.
