iWork exports MS Office documents with precision. It imports them in a usable 
manner, but with some possible gotchas.

I regularly use iWork to collaborate with various coprolites who insist on 
supporting monopolies.

I agree that one must inter-operate with Microsloth stuff. I disagree that one 
must actually use it in order to do so. And I strongly object to contributing 
to the income of convicted monopolies.

(If only corporations had not only the rights of human persons, but also the 
responsibilities, we could throw them in jail when they broke the law...)
