It seems to get stuck with whatever it started with.  The laptop I had when I moved from Canada to the States most 
recently could not be taken off the Canadian dictionary.  Even when I uninstalled Office and scrubbed the registry of 
all signs of it, when I reinstalled it was still in favour of colour.

I've used OO forever and transit files back and forth with virtual ease, but Office has a richer suite of features.  MS 
can be maddening, and when it is truly wrong it will never concede the point - but I agree with those who are arguing 
for it.  At the end of the day, having gazillions of dollars and users often makes for a better end product.
