*Sigh* you have given a name to my Ongoing Horror.

I am *forced* to use MS Office - Word, Excel and Outlook - on Windows.  My
job dutes are to look after the Solaris, HPUX, Compaq Tru64 and Cisco
kit - but still, my workstation is and must remain Spawn Of Microsoft.

Yes, I know, Crossover Office on linux - but I am not permitted to use
software that isn't free (and that took a *lot* of work) *or* for which
there is a licence document and purchase order reference in the office
safe (and my boss refuses to spring for a copy) - Plus I am under orders
not to run Linux at all (for such diverse reasons as "our licence
compliance checking package [aka Evil Spyware] doesn't run on it").

Yes, I know OpenOffice is there too - but that has been nixed. It still
isn't 100% compatable (particularly given my boss insists on doing the
master network diagrams using Excel drawing objects)

Still, I have cygwin and openssh on here - and vnc. that's something at
least.
