Yes. I have this distro and I can run Office 2000 out of the box. Cool
stuff.

It is not the ultimate solution, but, it goes a long way to bridging the
void
between Linux and Windows. I think this type of solution will help the
open source community in converting people to a more stable workstation.
The out of the box utilities are just what most people use and you don't
have
to search the net to get and install them.
