My clients are mostly major corporations who don't tend to welcome IT strategy suggestions from 
their
suppliers! Sure, they're aware of OO and open source in general but they're not planning to change anytime soon. This is 
not because they've been brainwashed by MS; it's mostly because they can't afford (financially and timewise) the risk of 
having to re-train thousands of users with the productivity drop that this would involve.
