Totally agree on the visualization and office talk. I'm still using Fusion 2 but plan to update soon for better Windows 7 compatibility. Most of my office work was done with Apple's iWork lately for personal use. But I also find myself use MS Word for school papers more and more again mostly just for compatibility reasons with my professors.
Yep, agree on iWork's compatibility exporting DOC files. It's very, very good, but not ... quite as good as OpenOffice's -- esp. if you need to trade files with Windows users.
