    simple installation? Have you ever installed any MS programs? Firstly, you have to purchase a copy of the software, then you have to put the CD into your computer. Then, you have to type in some 64-digit activation code. then you run it, and it crashes.
    It's a lot easier to just apt-get install OpenOffice.org.
