I am in the same position as etwilson, and the point is *nobody* in a group of 10 or 20 or more are *all* going to save in a different format simply because *i* choose to use free software. They (rightly) state that my employer provides me, at great cost, with the tools to do a job efficiently and effectively, and if I choose to use something else, that should never be *their* problem. Can't say I disagree. If there was something on parity with Visio, I would be happy to use it - however, none of the current crop of tools are. I use OOo on Linux all the time, but for Visio I have to fire up VMWare. Faxt is - there is no Visio replacement, not even close, and that will be a significant hurdle for some time to come.
