More people will move to Linux and OpenOffice.org. I believe that MS

Irrelevant because the issue here is whether or not advertising is going
to be shoved down your throat. That doesn't happen (at least YET) with
OO.o and most distros of Linux.

Saying "there is no escape" is defeatism at its worst. Never say "never".
