90% of my time is either on a NetBSD or Linux system, now-a-days NetBSD has been winning just because of personal preference.
But when doing tech writing, or technical editing I have to use Word, it's what my employers require for compatibility with the revision marking systems.
Now I'm going to MacOS X, but most of the time I'll be using the non-MS tools (like OpenOffice) and will only be using the MS tools when required.
Windows doesn't have the feel I like, it's that easy. MacOS doesn't either, but it's closer and runs the mix of apps I need.
I've got a bunch of old Sun systems that I boot off of floppies to do net installs of NetBSD and such. All new x86 systems I bring in don't have CD's either because I can boot off of the FreeBSD floppy and install from a network server.
When there is a good replacement I could live with out it, and I do live with out it on my desktop systems. But I need them on all of my servers.
