MSOffice usage comfort: Wine or VM+Rdesktop?

[Francis Bolduc]

Hi,

I never had good results installing Microsoft Office with wine.
However, VirtualBox has this seamless mode which is as close as you
can get from a "native" experience. It plays nice with compiz most of
the time, but it has a few rough edges. Try it out.

Ah, and if your boss obliges you to use Microsoft Word, you should try
to convince him that producing Microsoft Word documents with
LibreOffice is functionally equivalent, but without the license fee.
Business people usually understand "free as in beer better" than the
"free as in speech".
