Love it or not, they have some amazing products.
I'm a Windows user turned Linux lover since about 2 years ago, and I can honestly say that I've never been amazed by any Microsoft product. I'm somewhat surprised when they work properly and don't crash, but to call that amazement is a bit of an overstatement.

Like Internet Explorer 6!:p I'm joking of course. Like XP, Office, Servers (not web), SQL Server, Visual Studio,...
You think Office is "amazing"? In what way?

I suppose I could consider it amazing for the amazing amount of frustration, anger and disgust I've poured over it, but otherwise I don't see how.

So what you're saying is that it's the least bad office suite. The least painful to use. The least annoying. The least broken. Why, what a strong endorsement.

Yes, it's the best office suite. That doesn't mean office suites are a good thing to begin with. In fact, the reason why Office is such a humongous pain to use is because office suites are fundamentally wrong. Just like a golf club is fundamentally wrong for baseball.

personally, since I converted to Ubuntu I haven't find any thing to bother me except that i stopped playing PC games (and i'm getting around that lately .. forza Wine) .. and when i need to correct something on word or excel in my college .. it's just a pain in the ass to convert from .odt to .doc .. needs a lot of reformatting the essay or whatever ..

Yeah, it sucks. And OpenOffice is even worse. It's like a bad copy of MsOffice. God I hate office suites.
