Re: M$-Office alternative ?

[Kris Paige]

I just faced the same problem, and got Think Free Office, which does 
nicely for me. About 1/3 the cost, too!!!

Is there a serious alternative to M$-Office for OS X?

One that will work with .doc/.xls files AND save them
so that to a PC user it looks as if they've only ever been
worked on by Word/Excel ?
I am the sole Mac user at work and want to remain that
way, but with M$ pulling support on Mac-IE, it wouldn't
surprise me if one day Office for the Mac disappears (no
need to get into that discussion).
Basically, I would like to look into learning an alternative
if there is a competent one.
