Neutral

If the versions are going to be stripped down to the basic features
you might as well as just get Open Office. I'd rather have a learning
curve for free, than an incomplete version of Microsoft Office. That
said I'm sure people will still buy MS Office over Open Office,
because lets face it, Open Office kind of sucks in comparison other
than it being totally free. And the users who will like the stripped
down version of MS Office more than likely will have never heard of
Open Office (e.g. my parents). Open Office will continue to remain
dominant amongst FOSS enthusiasts and unemployed college students(me
:D), and MS Office will continue to remain dominant is corporate
environments and home offices. Look what you did, now I'm rambling.
