Ok, just as a reference point, the following apps are included with some
version of MS Office.  (GO equivs in parens)

Word (AbiWord)
Excel (Gnumeric)
Outlook (Evolution)
Powerpoint (??)
Access (GNOME-DB, sort of)
FrontPage (??)
Publisher (??)
Project (MrProject)
Visio (Dia)
MapPoint (??)
Data Analyzer (Guppi?)
PhotoDraw (Gimp?)

I think that's in order of decreasing importance to MS, and to us too,
with the exception of the mail client, which we should leave out, IMO.
