What about using a OS where MSO is not available? That's an important argument for me since I'm writing this post on such a platform. 
And if you're just writing some letters and do some calculations for yourself KOffice will work just fine. I guess it's good enough for the most work at home that you don't want to share with other office systems.

Not really. You can't copy nearly anything than plain text between different office systems. You can't even copy a table from OOo Calc to OOo Base...

"Tell her/him to install OpenOffice."
Well, that's not too valid of an excuse, seeing as I've read that Koffice's ODF files don't display correctly in OOo, and vice-versa.
IMO, MS Office is the best Office suite out there, and the only reason to use alternatives is the price. If this guy had already paid for MS Office, what reason would s/he have to switch?
Also, the cut and paste problem you had is most likely related to a problem with X's clipboard. Basically, if you copy/cut from a program, and then close the program, the data you copy/cut is lost. To solve the problem, you'll have to use a clipboard-enhancing app such as Klipper (in KDE) or the Clipboard applet in XFCE. (I haven't seen one for Gnome as of yet, but I would imagine one exists.)
