This is exactly my problem. I really want to do the switch, but I'm using my computer for work also, and I'll never get by without Office nor Adobe suite.
libreoffice works just as good though i expect the majority of people are already using something on the web like google docs or something
adobe, agreed, unfortunately. adobe as a company is terrible but the software is great (thanks to macromedia)
I never felt OpenOffice and libreoffice were a decent replacement for MS office. It was too different in many ways and compatibility was never top. Since I moved to softmaker (not OSS), I've been happier.
How has your experience been with the softmaker alternative to excel? Do all the functions translate well? I just took a peak at their site and it looks dramatically better than libreoffice but I'd never heard of it before.
I haven't used it that's extensively but for every of my needs, it performed great.
