Unfortunately, it's the corporate standard. With that said, it's actually kind of surprising how little I use the Office suite on my work computer (other than Outlook I guess). More and more things are becoming web based.

    It's vendor lockin. Office file formats are not properly open. There is a "temporary" closed bit that they promised to open to get through ISO, but then never did. The whole ISO thing was a massive exercise in corruption. Let alone the fact the reference implementation is closed. Shame Groklaw isn't as easy to search and link now.
