And obviously you are a complete 1 off user.

I run Linux are my primary OS and I am an Administrator of an Active Directory Windows Network.

But I also have a VM running windows as there are still things you cannot do under Linux to Administer a Windows Active Directory.

As far as regular users, Office is a road block to Linux. You can claim the Libre is a competent replacement but it just isn't! So much in Libre is clunky and clumsy compared to Office. In regards to BI Calc just doesn't have the functionality that Excel does. Even something as simple a a pivot table is so clunky in Calc and so easy and intuitive in Excel. When MS creates a cross platform Office (and it may happen) then Linux "might" become a viable alternative.
