Installed Micrsoft Office 2007 on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 using CrossOver. It runs great, here is a screenshot:

But one little problem, the fonts don’t look smooth because Linux don’t have ClearType and the spacing of text is not appropriate. The text looks very crumbled and unreadable. But I am sure, there must be a solution using custom font definations.

I will also try installing it using Wine and post a HowTo on LinuxArticles.

Where do you primarily work? Office, Home or a Coffee Shop? I primarily work in my office and I head to a coffee shop in evening for a blogging session. Here is a pic of my office.
