Do you think this will really have an affect on market share of
OpenOffice?

No, but it will make IBM look less implausible. By now, they've been
advocating customers to use Symphony, but have still been using
Microsoft's Office for their presentations. It can't be any worse than
that, because that just screamed "yeah, the product exists but we're
not using it because it sucks".

I'll be keeping a watch on the laptops of our IBM sales and techies
reps and call them out if they're still using Office.
