"Linux is the ultimate windows service pack. "

Great. I'll bet my copy of Office XP will run a lot faster on Linux, right?

Yes it will. You can get an emulator that will run it. In fact I know of a sysadmin who built a custom image on his dell laptop that ran win2k and office on an emulator. He would fire it up on the weekends when he had duty to remote in on a vpn to fix issues.
