Yep. I've worked with LibreOffice, it's not bad -- but it's not MS Office. Especially Excel, but even MS Word is better depending on your usage and how much you rely on things like VB macros. I'm in the process of trying out Linux distros to eventually move all of my machines over to Linux, but even then I fully expect to be running MS Office in a virtual machine on at least one of them.
Fortunately, I like the older versions of MS Office and I don't mind the extra setup, so it won't be a problem for me. But for anyone needing the latest iterations of MS Office, it's difficult to do on Linux from what I've seen so far, and maybe impossible for a total beginner without help.
Whats the latest working "old" version of MsOffice on linux these days?
