His example was creating a document in OpenOffice, editing it later in QuickOffice, and then having the recipient open in it Microsoft Word. He is absolutely correct that what the recipient opens in Word will have formatting discrepancies and not look like what he thinks he submitted. It might not even be the fault of QuickOffice, it's more of an issue that it wasn't created and edited in the target/destination environment (Word). This isn't even a new or unforeseen issue for people who work with a lot of office documents. More broadly, in the business world, Microsoft Office is still very dominant. If your clients & business partners collaborate with Word documents, or Excel workbooks, or PowerPoint presentations, or whatever the case...running a VM so you can run MS Office and collaborate with them isn't "wrong" or something the parent needs to reevaluate- It's a business requirement and to ensure professionalism! It isn't nearly as uncommon of a use case as you think. I don't think he's shilling, he's being a realist given his needs.
