Just get StarOffice and mount your Windows partition in Linux, then you never even have to bother with the Microsoft products and you don't need to move your files anywhere because, well, they're already there! The pressure on me to run a virtual machine lessens with each passing week. I can do nearly anything I need to in Linux alone. -Stephen-
