This may be redundant -- and if it isn't I'll be surprised.
Every project that I have worked on where a Microsoft "solution" has been used has dramatically increased costs. It requires more software purchases to support it (anti-virus, networking, remote control, etc.). On top of that M$ products require more people to maintain their products. More people = more cost. Project overhead is also increased by the often terrible user interfaces that Microsoft and companies that only produce Windows-based products create. Bad UI = more cost spent on product and customer support.
*nix-based systems historically have less downtime, less outside costs associated with them (not as much extra software needed to support it), and not as much staff to create products using *nix systems.
But, you already knew that didn't you -- you/.-er you.
If you listen to Steve Jobs' presentation where he describes iWork, notice he says that they are hoping iWork will entirely replace AppleWorks. For those in the know, AppleWorks integrates a word processor and spreadsheet (and other stuff).
iWork is the potential M$ Office killer on the Mac platform. Is it free and open source? No, but Mac folks will stick to iWork like krazyglue in a nail salon.
If you want free and Aqua, NeoOffice or AbiWord are the way to go.

They should've done "Starfleet Academy: 90210," but they didn't listen to me.
That'll teach 'em.
How the hell can the first post of a topic be...oh wait.
I'm not a liberal. Nor do I play one on TV. Actually, Rush Limbaugh is an avid Mac user from what I understand.
Because they consistently "get it," hence this article.
Actually:
Yes, my colon is legal.
But I bought my kidney very hush-hush from the back of a gray van.
I, for one, do not welcome our club card overlords.
Get your stinking paws off me you damn, dirty Gates.

"...have taken steps to shut down a security hole..."
So...cool! They're installing Xserves?!?
"Frack."
...and I'll say it again, but there are Anti-Spyware devices that are the of my eye.
So...uh...what you're telling me is, um, that...like...I shouldn't have done, you know...drugs? And stuff? In high school?
What a drag, dude. I thought I was, you know, going to a higher plane of, uh...existance. And stuff.
Yeah.
No, but I could show you how to make a nice MLT!
Yeah, on a plane? In a car? Nope. Don't think so.
Yeah, and have you tried it in a noisy environment?
Me: Computer, tell me a joke.
Compy: Knock, knock?
Me: Who's there?
Compy: ---
Me: WHO. IS. THERE?
Compy: ---
Me: (Bill Cosby voice) WHOO! IISSS! THERE!?
Compy: Knock, knock.
Me: *sigh*
Thank God it's also a forgotten movie. Eek.
