It seems like we're seeing the thin end of the wedge here. I expect OpenOffice.org will be preinstalled on more and more computers, creating a positive reinforcement cycle as it gets ever more popular. Price pressures and the network effect of documents being saved in ODF will provide further incentives for manufacturers to install it and for customers to demand it. Exponential growth is on the horizon! Thanks for the links! Yes, I had meant to post about that one too, and I still might in the next few days.
