By the way, I gave in. After a few months of exclusively working with (the free) OpenOffice, I purchases Microsoft Office.
OpenOffice still rocks in regards to its file formats: save as PDF, save as Word, it's all easy and good. But it runs behind a bit in terms of usability - especially for the Powerpoint clone. The new release should fix much of that, but I couldn't wait.
