Yes! there can be no comparison with the live versions of office and Windows. I mean Linux doesn't have the security holes that Windows does due to it's architecture. Being that you don't have to download a thousand and one service packs just to have a secure and stable OS. Furthermore Open office doen't have the security holes that office does either.
So here's a question that all who are pondering trying out the MS live apps... If the packaged stuff you've used in the past has a ton of security holes in it. Then how many more will you get with Microsoft applications that require an Internet connection in order to function? Also, remember that Microsoft tried bundling various applications together into Windows before, and ended up with a massive bloatware that crashes all the time, and had extra security holes in it.
Try a flavor of UNIX for a change folks. I guarantee that you'll love it, and never want to turn back!
