I use linux at home. I don't use any Microsoft applications. I have wine so I can run iTunes ( not made by Microsoft ) and window's games ( that aren't made by Microsoft ). I already use Open Office and it is great.
Microsoft using WGA to block linux user's is one reason I will never buy Microsoft product's.
Microsoft has helped firm my decision to stick with linux.
I'm not crawling back to windows.
