No.  I want programs that comply with open document standards, so I can 
switch vendors if dissatisfied or if another program is better.   Open 
Office et al. seem to be a step in that direction.  MS Office is not.

Most companies use MS Office now, but at one time WordPerfect was king.  
Companies managed to switch and survive.
