Anyone know any program to replace microsoft office so I will have the same basic programs and be somewhat compatible. I have OpenOffice.org on my linux box, but I tried to install it on my iBook and it was very bad, almost reinstalled Panther. Works is okay, but I have better luck with OpenOffice in opening/editing/saving files to be used with windows

I've never used it, but I hear ThinkFree is a good program.

I use Open Office personally. I don't have much use for an Office Suite so I can't justify paying $150 for a product I'll use like once a year. OpenOffice does a piss poor job at reading Word documents but does a good enough job writing them.
