I think this ability to create extensions should help it overtake (or at least catch up to) MS Office.

The capabilities of Open Office are already beyond what most users need. Unfortunately, all of the corporate types I have to interact with insist on Microsoft Office formats and Open Office's compatibility (though improving) still lags. Argh!

This gives me pause for thought:

The extension's ability to bookmark shell commands can come in even more handy, since it allows you to create bookmarks that send commands to external applications.

One of the biggest problems I saw in the corporate world with Windows users was the absent-minded way people would load and execute random software on their machines. Will the increasing integration and capability with Open Office cause similar problems?
