I use OpenOffice pretty extensively - even for business-related stuff.
The interface isn't as slick as office, but I think it has rather good
functionality. For example, it nicely manages a 219 page lab handbook I
maintain (with extensive document styles and master/slave documents). [

cost and licensing.
