Non-Microsoft alternatives to mail/browser/Office products...

[whiskeytown]

I have no choice - Win98 ain't cutting it anymore, and today I'm probably gonna go to the store and buy the parts for my new P4 and I have XP professional with SP2, so I'll install that, Zonealarm, Norton's AV, and THEN and only then plug it into the Internet.

In an attempt to reduce my future risk, I'm looking at Firefox/Thunderbird for my Browsing/Email and Openoffice for my Word/Excel needs - (I don't use Access or Powerpoint much anyways) -

Anyone have any problems with these? - I do use a fairly complex Excel document to track my losses/wins in poker, so I need it to convert easily -
