Hi,
have you considered Sun's StarOffice, or the open version OpenOffice? I
haven't used the Unix/Linux version, but for people who prefer to use as
little MS software as possible it is a very good, and much cheaper,
alternative to MS Office. It can read and write MS-format files too, if
required.

On the other hand, we noticed that
native Linux "productivity tools" such as wordprocessors or presentation
graphics are buggy and not too much MS-compatible. No insult intended
to Linux fans, but Linux add-ons do not seem to be the highest quality.
Therefore we use original Microsoft Office to write reports or prepare
seminars. Microsoft Office somehow does not run natively under Linux.
