Hmm, I use Gimp and I can do what I did in PhotoShop (then again, I'm a novice 
at graphics anyways). 

Your point is taken, but I think what the posted wanted to point out is that 
most MS apps (used in the work place) are there. Meaning, OpenOffice, 
AbiWord, K-Office, K-Mail, Evolution etc.

Granted, it's not an ideal OS for the likes of CAD etc, but still - for free, 
you just can't beat it.
