I had this impression at work. I *tried* to get along with Windows but
about 3-4 years ago I got fed up and knew Ubuntu 10.04 LTS would be a
much more efficient work environment (which it was).

The only files I've ever encountered which I couldn't handle were a few
Microsoft Publisher .pub and complex Photoshop files. I send them back
or at worst get someone in the office to deal with them.

I've noticed a lot more people using Libre Office, including big
companies like British Gas, which makes life easier for /everyone/.
