There are already many years since I have abandoned MS Office, so I do not know how this works for recent MS Office versions, but before that I have used for many years native MS Office Professional running on Linux (via CrossOver; both MS Office Pro and CrossOver were paid, so choosing Linux was done for better performance and features, not for lower cost). The funny thing was that at least those older versions of MS Office ran much better on Linux than on the contemporaneous Windows (XP and Vista), i.e. faster and with no crashes, presumably due to the faster file system and due to the lack of interfering antiviruses or other corporate garbage.
