The only reason I am still using windows is MS office. I might give it a try myself... My home machine is running Arch linux and works flawlessly for more then two years already. Just my work is still stucked with a lot of documentations sharing between some other people and I need MS office programs which have no alternative in open-source word. well, the office.com looks promising these days and I hope to switch completely ASAP.

Wine runs older Office versions fine. I heard Crossover works even better if you're willing to pay for it.

Yeah, I was going to mention the online versions.

If you’re doing simple office stuff, it works great. If you need excel plugins and stuff, then you’ll need a local version.

This reads like a Slashdot post from 1998.

Just needs a "even my grandmother is using KDE seamlessly with her online banking site"

It even predates Arch Linux by a few years.

For typical business use office.com is really quirky and doesn't work well like the desktop counterpart.
