Office Software for Linux

,----[ Qote ]
| Are you thinking about moving your computer to Linux, but worried about 
| living without office software? Well don't be. 
| 
| You can run Microsoft Office, and many other native Windows programs on Linux 
| using Wine, which is a Windows compatibility layer for Linux and similar 
| operating systems.  
| 
| However, you do not need to do this, and the majority of Linux users do not, 
| because Linux has bucket loads of its own high-quality office software.

There's this fallacy (Microsoft FUD) that you can't handle Office if you move
to GNU/Linux. Not true!
