I think it would be a mistake not to demo OOo. It is by a long
way the program with the best word/excel/ppt filters, and the #1
concern of a lot of people when changing systems is
interoperability. And one of the most persistent GNU/Linux myths
is "can's read docs". 

Firefox and thunderbird have a lot of buzz around them right now, 
but given evolution and epiphany, their omission would be less
damaging.

I don't know pdfcreator - is it related to scibus at all?

Cheers,
Dave.
