Is it worth upgrading to Office 2010?

A lot of the people I work with have been using Office 2003 for years and find re-learning a new interface very difficult. For some, going to Office 2007 was considered a steep learning curve. These folks don't use the bells and whistles of Office products... they use basic word processing, PowerPoint and spreadsheet functions.

I came across this article...and decided that when we finally get them moved over to re-built Win 7 machines (they are still on rebuilt/recycled Win XP machines now), we will try out LibreOffice instead.... and see if they even notice!

What's been your experience with these alternatives to the ever-more pricey, ever-more bloated MS products?
