You've bought the MS hype that you need Word, Excel, Outlook, etc. The truth is there are free applications out there that perform all the same functions. I haven't relied on a Windows server or desktop for anything in years, yet I still communicate with lots of Windows users and they have no idea I'm NOT on Windows. Today's Linux is no harder to install than Windows, can be made to look just like Windows, and will run better on much, much, MUCH cheaper hardware.
It's not a bold step. The Unix variants have all the tools, the only thing they're missing is you installing it.
