Pro's and cons for Linux

Hi there thanks for checking in

The I T manager over here wants us to convert 1 branch in our company from Win98 to Linux

I would just like to know the types of problems that we will have once this is done.

I would also like to know the following.

Does Linux come with a Office package or can you download or do you have to pay for it.
( Office - something like MS word, Excel etc... )

Does Linux come with it's own Mail program or can you download or do you have to pay for it.
( mail program - something like Outlook Express )

What happens if somebody mails you a doc from Win98 would you still be able to read if on the Linux PC.

Thanks in advance.
