I bought ApplixOffice 2 years ago and used it under Linux. It was the time, when StarOffice 3.1 was in beta test. ApplixOffice used _a lot_ less memory and was way faster then the fat StarOffice 3.1b. I didn't try the newer Versions of both. The disadvantage for me with ApplixOffice was, that it couldn't handle MS Word documents. Don't know, if it can now. StarOffice 3.1b could, but was too big and slow. These are my experiences.
