I use OpenOffice on my Wintel and Linux boxes.  They are 100% MS Word 
compatible as is Abiword.  They are FREE!  I would use it on my older 
Macs if there were a release.  I think that M$ Office would die a 
quick death if people didn't simply steal it from work or school or 
the net or a buddy...Or if it didn't come bundled.  People tend to 
use the stuff that is there and "free".  Why should Joe Schmoe use 
Mozilla, Opera, or Navigator when there is something already there 
and adequate for most tasks?  Why use Eudora, Mozilla, or Gravity 
when Outlook Express is already there for them?  I hate Windows.  I 
only use it for Wolfenstein, and Quicken.  That's it.  Day to day is 
Linux, and work is for teh Mac OS.  I have every System release from 
.9x to X.  Some were gifted to me, some were purchased, my copy of 
7.6 is pirated from Usenet from many years back when it was new.  All 
were acquired in many ways.  I don't really feel guilty.  Dunno why...
