I've been using CrossOver Office + Plugin for about 6 months now.
Admittedly, I only used Outlook for the first month or so until I 
could get POP3 access to my e-mail, and I only brought up Excel, PP, 
and Word a few times each.

They work decently enough to get by.  If you're used to living in the 
UNIX world, then you probably have a higher pain thresh-hold than the 
average Windows user anyway.  In that scenario, they're decent enough 
to use on occasion.

If, OTOH, you're a life long MS user, and you get along reasonably 
well with MS environments, then I'd say that the CrossOver stuff has 
a few bugs which might drive you up the wall :)
