I guess I'm in the minority here, but I've *always* liked OpenOffice.

I work exclusively on a Linux machine as a web developer and I'm 
constantly getting all kinds of MS Docs from various clients.  Never 
have I failed to open one in OpenOffice (even before 1.0 came out).

The worst trouble I've ever had was bullets.  Bullets will sometimes 
look different or prevent me from printing the document.

So other than the slow start-up time for the program, which is getting 
better, I've really dug OpenOffice.

Starting a new business here now and we've talked about using OpenOffice 
exclusively, even on the (cough) Windows clients some of my partners 
still want to use. :)
