Maybe that will help you http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php It's FREE btw. |
I have yeah, not a fan :P I prefer MS Office for that stuff, they really do an excellent job and I don't mind paying for the product. I really don't like NeoOffice or Open Office
Adobe products will RUN fine but if you're a designer and you're dealing with large files, every single operation takes longer... filters and effects can take forEVER to process...
Not to mention they don't even have standard hotkeys across their apps and they break Apple's own best practices guidelines by doing lame things like changing the global "hide app" shortcut in Illustrator ... but not Photoshop ... granted you can change these but I'm just using that as an example :P
One more thing I'll add is the obvious hardware cost and the fact that their hardware is closed so the options are microscopic when compared to a PC... and the cost is absolutely ridiculous...
