Work??

Hi! I have a question. For my work, I sometimes need to work with Microsoft Word. I know there is OpenOffice that seems good but some functionality that I need are not present. Also I need Visio and a plugins to view QuickTime movies in a browser. I heard about CodeWeavers that produce CorssOver Office and CrossOver Plugin that seem to be the answer to my need. But, those products are not free... I can buy it but I would want to have some comments from people that tried it. How it works? Is it good? Does it works with a certain stability when you use the products in it? I have Suse Pro 8.0. Thanks
