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.
