Kurt: GIYF when looking for stuff in Open Office. I have used it exclusively for several years. Every once in a while I have to open up Office 2007 and have a really hard time finding stuff.
I do everything except for VFP development and Quickbooks on Ubuntu (maybe a couple of others I can't think of)! I use remote desktop on Ubuntu to remote into my XP machine. I have experienced a significant improvement in productivity and enjoyment since making the move.
