It will never happen... and maybe I should drop PJ an email... I would love to be able to buy a copy of Office for Linux.

There, I've said it. I would happily pay £500 or whatever it is to be able to run Office without Windows, and without having to use virtual machines.

Because it's not an option, I use Google Docs/Drive. But let's be clear... I really would prefer Excel (pivot table magic) and Powerpoint (smart charts) over the Google and Open Office alternatives.
