Care to list the alternative options? I can guess Lyx for document creation,
GIMP for image manipulation, but that's where my list ends. What are the
options to perform other common tasks:

-- Email & Organizer (an only-email client is no replacement for Outlook or
Evolution)
-- Spreadsheet
-- Presentations
-- File and web-browsing (i.e Windows Explorer/Konquerer/Galleon)

Those are the first things that pop to my head, I'm sure there are other
areas in which most OSS alternatives are merely imitating MS's or any
commercial vendor's products.
