You are overrating the spelling checker in MSWord. I'm in the publishing industry and have been getting lots of documents done in Word with misspelled words. The people sending them swear they used the spelling checker. I use OpenOffice.org Writer, and it checks the spelling correctly. However, I didn't switch because of the spelling issues. MSWord doesn't hold its pagination in complex documents, inline graphics (even anchored ones) move around when opened on different machines (even ones with the exact same release of MSWord installed), and a whole slew of other problems make MSWord quite possibly the very worst word processing software on the market today.
