I'll second this. While AbiWord, Gnumeric and OpenOffice (bleugh!) now
give us reasonable access to common MS Office documents, but Project
and Visio remain the two major stumbling blocks, and there aren't
any viable native Linux options. Crossover Office is an excellent
choice in situations like this. Furthermore, they're a really nice
company to deal with and are very responsive to problems. My only real
complaint would be their bug tracking system, which is cumbersome to
use compared to, say, bugzilla.
