MS Office for Linux? Not quite--but close!

CodeWeavers's CrossOver Office eliminates the need for either a Windows
emulator or a license to run the Windows operating system. Using pieces
of WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) as well as some original programming,
the software lets you run Office 97 and Office 2000, as well as Lotus
Notes, on top of Linux.

CrossOver Office requires a 200MHz or higher x86-based machine. It's
been tested with Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian, and Caldera Linux. The
software integrates itself with the Gnome and KDE Linux environments,
from which users can start Office apps much as they would do in Windows.
The software, which costs $54.95, is available from the CodeWeavers Web
site. CrossOver Plugin sells for $24.95.
