You might be able to save some money by buying Codeweavers' Crossover Office and using it to install Windows-only apps. I've been amazed at how they've made it "just work". My wife needed IE6 & ActiveX to upload photos to the local photo printing shop, and so I used Crossover Office to install it; it runs flawlessly under Ubuntu. It also does MS Office very well, too. I got my copy free, during the Lame Duck Challenge last year, but even when it isn't free, it's only $40. And they have a free trial period to see if your software works.

And I must admit, I like seeing the big numbers beside my project on maemo.org...
