"Linux users enjoy a rich choice of applications in every area, but particularly for office tasks. That choice is so extensive that finding apps that meet your needs can be time consuming. So I thought I would save you the legwork and highlight 10 applications that you may be unaware of and which actually could prove extremely useful in your workplace. Each of these tools differs in scope and purpose, but they all offer an obvious business value."

"Yes, a Mac can do everything a Windows machine can and often better. This includes one of the world's most performed functions of a computer; word processing. Heck, I'm doing it now in one of the word processors listed below (I'll keep that private until the end of the list). You don't have to spend money to get a good application, though. A few in this list are free."

"My viewpoint is changing now that it's not part of my job. When it turned out that I hadn't officially purchased Office, I questioned if I still wanted to."

"Mac Office accounts for more than one-quarter of all retail sales of the productivity suite. That's right, more than 25 percent."

"Our tests show that Windows Vista and Office 2007 not only smash Redmond’s previous records for weight gain, but given the same hardware diet, run at less than half the speed of generation XP"
