I am looking for your opinions on which free office suite has the best compatibility with viewing Microsoft office files. I have Office 2007 and VMware Fusion on my MB, but sometimes at school it can be a hassle to boot up windows, then fire up word, just to view a file. I am just looking for something light-weight that I can view word, excel, and powerpoint files on. If I need to make any of those files I will use Office 2007. I've used Open Office before, on Linux, and I don't remember it being too impressive. I guess it would work, but I would just like to see if any of you have a suggestion.
