Given the sheer number of companies still using Office 2010 or 2007 or older, thick clients aren't the problem.

A huge part of the LibreOffice value proposition is price. And choosing free LibreOffice over paid Office is a lot easier than choosing a paid option. Once you open the conversation about paying, Office is a no-brainer and you need a compelling reason to switch to something else.

Hard agree for businesses. Office just isn't that expensive anymore, especially if you're in the MS ecosystem already.
