Re: The Linux desktop challenge

My suggestion for most important migration product for moving from 
Windows to Linux is CrossOver Office with an older version of M$ Office 
(I use 2000). I use mine fairly regularly, even though I have OpenOffice 
& StarOffice installed. Given the oddities of rendering that the 
OpenOffice-based products exhibit, it's very nice to have for printing 
docs created with the M$ versions. I also have installed it for folks 
that have websites (specifically, an HR benefits site) that _only_ 
supports IE. It works like a charm on Suse. Well worth the $39.
