Technically, M$Office already runs on Linux -- via a product called CrossOver Office. Visit www.codeweavers.com for more info. Personally, I like the idea of not having to pay M$oft at all for an office suite and think that OpenOffice offers a reasonable (but not perfect) alternative for very little money (free). M$soft may decide in the end that porting their office suite to Linux makes sense ... we will just have to wait and see. Roy
