Absolutely not. There have been articles in almost every newspaper in the world about Firefox, as well as the problems which IE brings to users. If a user still has his head in the sand, let 'im suffer.
As someone else hinted earlier, what we need is a plug-in for Firefox that could "lie" to the web pages published by those [wankers] who write IE-only code.
just tell the HR drone that you will study for 15 minutes each day when Mickey's big hand and little hand are both on the six. Or if they are really insistent to have you buld "strong NT skills," offer to have a lobotomy.
As mentioned -- iWorks only costs US$79 list, and it is a very good product. I am forced to use Microsoft applications for work, as we need to be 100% compatible (a bit pathetic given that 75% of our market is Unix, Linux, and Mac OS), but if I could use iWork instead I would be delighted.
For writing presentations, for example, I've used everything from Lotus Freelance (who remembers that?) to PowerPoint, but I have never seen a tool as easy and nice as Keynote. And despite years of using PowerPoint, my presentations just LOOK better in Keynote!
Pages is also very nice -- while MS Word has a lot more features, it is a lot easier to create visually attractive documents in Pages.
NeoOffice does, however, bring a lot more tools (spreadsheet, project management, drawing & graphics, and flowcharting), and it is very exciting to have a Cocoa/Aqua version of OpenOffice, a product that I have enjoyed on Linux for quite some time now.
