How many offices do you know like that? Or that would rule out the use of MS Office completely?

Quite a few!

I agree than MS Office is often a deal breaker for most, but it's not impossible to work around without it provided you've got half decent IT staff & training. Failing that, there's always Wine/Crossover etc or to run an XP/Win7 VirtualBox VM if someone absolutely has to have it (though I'd steer away from that route personally, as you may as well just run Windows then!).
