There is a new product from CodeWeavers called "Crossover Office" I think that lets you run MS Office 97/2000 almost perfectly on your Linux computer.
Too bad it costs 50 something dollars.
On the other hand, if you have a copy of office lying around, why not, staroffice now costs money anyway.
Here's the URL for those who are interested:

StarOffice costs money but not 300-500 bucks like MS Office. On the other hand Open Office is the free version of Star Office.

openoffice is free, and reads and writes .doc files, i've heard. not got it yet, but i do have abiword. it's also free, and i found it on the install cd of turbolinux 6.1, it can open .doc files, but can only save as .rtf files which lose some of the formatting from word 97 and later so i believe.
There will probably be excel and acces clones too, i reckon openoffice will be the bolloxx for that sort of thing! (i can't wait to get it myself!)
Hey, i just found out about this program here. It emulates M$ office 2000 (except Access) and Lotus Notes 5 on linux operating systems. it costs $55 though, but the review seems to think it's good.
i heard macs can run linux... why not set up a dual boot with linux on a small part of yr drive and see how you like it?
it's for hobbyists though, so don't bother if you haven't got the inclination or the time...
