I have heard good things about Xandros/CrossOver office, though. Makes installing most winblows productivity software installation and use a snap on linux machines. Unfortunately, it's a pay product but it is relatively cheap for the CrossOver Office plugin alone.
Check out this article
FYI, I like Debian the best - as with any linux product, be prepared for a steep learning curve - I recommend a dual-boot system until you get familiarized.

Yeah even though I've been using PCs for 14 years, I'm still a Linux newbie having only used it at uni so of course I was gonna have a dual boot. That's why it's good that Linux can reside on a logical partition anywhere on your HD.
What I never got was what's the different between Debian-based and Red-hat based distributions. I mean ok, they're based on slightly different schools of thought but functionally what's different?
Also I was gonna download Redhat but it's 5 CDs and even on ADSL I can't be bothered to download that right now so I downloaded BestLinux which fits on one CD. But it's like what??? Even Windows XP Pro comes on one CD so what the hell can RedHat put on 5 CDs??
