I had this impression at work. I *tried* to get along with Windows but about 3-4 years ago I got fed up and knew Ubuntu 10.04 LTS would be a much more efficient work environment (which it was). The only files I've ever encountered which I couldn't handle were a few Microsoft Publisher .pub and complex Photoshop files. I send them back or at worst get someone in the office to deal with them. I've noticed a lot more people using Libre Office, including big companies like British Gas, which makes life easier for /everyone/. Gibbs
