I run it on my Win2K machine and I've installed the Alpha on MAC and it's going to be nice :) My employer recently installed Office v.X on my iBook and I hate it. I haven't had Office on my Macs for a couple years and I didn't miss it at all. AppleWorks was capable of opening any Word document I received - I think there were 2 last year. I equally hate AppleWorks, but it came pre-installed. I'm anxiously awaiting OpenOffice.org's first 1.0 for OSX! BTW: I've been running X11 on my Mac for a while - it installs with the OpenOffice.org alpha release. I'm going to check out the native OSX version.

Anyway, that should handle the needs of many users. Also, Apple announced X11 for OS X http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/ I read somewhere that there is an open-source, MSOffice-compatible product that runs under X11 on other platforms -- so this is another possibility.
