Re: M$-Office alternative ?

[Kenneth Martin]

I haven't tried it with Mac OS X, but I would bet that Star Office 
works with OS X, or has one in development. It should port very easily.
Star Office for Linux reads all MS Office files.

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.
