I don't use windows at all, and I work daily in a large corporation. I
piss off people regularly because they can't schedule meetings with me via MS
Lookout!. The real problem is not any lacking on the part of Linux or its apps
(although there is some of that). The real problem is the corporate mentality
of considering winblows and its apps as a standard. They're not.
Someone sends me MS office, I send it back and request pdf, or I open it
in OpenOffice and sent that back to make a point. You may not be able to do
this, but most of this nonsense involves retraining the people around you to
play with others.
