I think you're onto a looser here. The best office suite for Linux is probably WPO2000 from Corel, but it's a bit wobbly and requires maintenance. It's OK for me, because I'm a bit of a hacker, but my girlfriend, despite really wanting to dump Windows, has given up on it. Shame. Vmware is not a very good solution for your needs. A laptop with 64MB of RAM will make a lousy platform for Vmware, and, as you say, it just means extra expense which doesn't, at the end of the day, get you off Windows. Unless Applixware or Staroffice will suit your needs, I don't think there's a Linux solution just yet. My experience says that Linux should only be introduced as a solution when it is genuinely better than the alternative, otherwise you just do more harm than good.
thank you, so it seems I'll have to suggest to buy VMWare for each laptop. To be sincere at first glance this would be replied from my short-seeing management as a new expense and a new need for resources (i.e. RAM). A bit of a problem as our laptop have generally only 64 MB.
