Same here, I have Office 97, and had used it for a very long time in Wine, but gradually moved over to LibreOffice.
I never had a paid version of PhotoShop -- I used to use some cheaper alternatives back in my Win98SE days (the last version I used). I have used PhotoFiltre also a free older photo editor in Wine.
These days I mostly use MTPaint for photo resizing/cropping and some color correction, and Gimp for anything more complicated. I don't like Gimp's interface, and have never learned much in it other than the few tools I use (color correction, perspective and other transforms, print size changes) I wish it was more intuitive for me, but I don't find it so.
Too bad LibreOffice Calc doesn't do MSExcel's macros, and has a less useful (according to my wife, an editor) track-changes methodology for collaborative work. For me, these aren't problems for my own work in a spreadsheet.
The one must-have Windows (Wine) app I absolutely depend on is the old free 3D CAD Google SketchUp versions 7 and 8. Not the newer Trimble versions ($$).
I have free plugins for the old ones that allow .dxf, and .stl saves and also a CAM plugin that outputs G-code. I've tried to learn other 3D CADs and I find them really difficult/clumsy (for me). Maybe it's just the way my mind works.
