edit: looked at screenshots. still less than impressed. has a '5 years old' feel to the interface. MS going to the ribbon really screwed open office over.
then again, you're probably using a mac and can do that anyways.
something that has saved me immeasurable time with cover letters and resumes recently.
i suspect we may be in the same boat fanin80. i'm a former comp sci major turned marketing. got tired of windows and tried ubuntu. couldn't get my wireless card to work reliably (at the time) so I bought a macbook and never looked back.

Office 2007 and (I assume) Office 2010 have plug ins to save directly as a PDF as well.
As for wireless, Ubuntu 9 and higher have really good wireless support. I installed it on my wife's laptop and all I needed to do was pick the driver it used (ndiswrapped proprietary or another one)
