Hi!
Today I want to burn my fingers :-|

The filter status at http://www.koffice.org/filters/status.phtml and my 
experience importing various documents (word,excel,pdf) with more or less 
success tells me  that koffice will hardly be accepted by any organisation as 
long as at least the import section has 5 stars for this documents.

In addition to that it becomes more and more part of business life to share 
the writing of a document with other people outside of the own organisation. 
This is not possible as long KOffice does not provide full featured export 
filters 
or 
everyone agrees on a common standard (pdf)
or 
KDE provides imoprt filters for MS-Office.

Connectivity is the key for usablility and acceptance of KOffice and KDE 
otherwise at least business  will have to use crossover and MS-Office. 

just my 2c
