"Could it be that Microsoft doesn't want you to know that, if you really wanted Office 2007, you could do it from a Linux desktop and Firefox instead of having to buy into an all Microsoft solution?"
 
Install latest SLED 10 Beta from Novell and Firefox and the ICA client come preinstalled so you're all set to go...

 
 
 
Why would you want M$ office anything when you can have OO.org?
 
http://www.openoffice.org/ is beautiful!
 
:-D

And it supports export to many different formats (like PDF, which may or may not make it into Office 2007, I've heard there are issues between Microsoft and Adobe).

 
 
Yes indeed :-D
 
OO.org is improving daily, M$ Office is getting worse.

So you can have Excel crash whenever it tries to process a very large (~5000 data points/set and 50 sets/sheet) spreadsheet and graph those points. I had to do this for my job and I was just about ready to heave that computer out the window after it would constantly just crash and burn. I took the data home and used OpenOffice.org Calc that's on my computer to run it. Calc handled it just fine for me even if it did take 10-20 seconds to draw the graphs with 20k or so points on them. The only downside was that my X-Y charts that I made with Calc do not show up correctly using Excel- so I just print the graphs and hand them in or export as PDFs. The PDFs and printouts were just fine, so I kept using Calc and got my work done.

 
 
 
Indeed :-D
 
I have had similar experiences.
 
You cannot beat OO.org @ $0.00 vs. M$ office Enterprise @$599.00 or whatever.
