I did try OpenOffice for a month (pre-Office 20070 and you're right, it's horrible. But even if it was functionally equivalent there are still reasons Office wins - because it's safe and because it's the defacto standard. Even the cost isn't that big a deal for companies because they get security in exchange and that's one of the things big companies value above all else.
