Depends what you do with it I guess.
Writing letters and simple spreadsheet... then yes, fine,who cares what you use.
Anyhow, each to their own. Not interested in bringing up the old Microsoft debate. I am very much a mac user, but I'm not a fanboy and know it's hard to avoid Microsoft products 100%.... sooner or later you're going to have to concede you'll end up using it (e.g. there will be a need for Windows in VMWare/Parallels/BootCamp because some moron of a web developer thinks Internet Explorer is the only browser out there).
p.s.
NeoOffice/OpenOffice isn't cheap, it is free -
You know very well what I meant when referring to people doing things "on the cheap" ...... 0 < 1 ∴ free=cheap.
