my wife has me checking it out for some non-profit clinic's who are clients, trying to keep costs down so they can use IT funding in other areas where they need it most. Seems to be very nice and completely MS Office compatible also

Yes, I have it, running on my Linux partition. It's excellent.
It's almost completely MS Office compatible. I'd say 99%. It doesn't support macros, I think. But then again, macros are often just a virus nest, so it's not suc a bad thing.
