OpenOffice
Free, open source, cross-platform Office suite. Includes a word processor, a Powerpoint-likwe presenters, and many other of the same features as Microsoft Office. Written in Java, so it’s slow, sometimes.

A nice alternative to the Aero theme on Windows Vista. Fast, easy to use, and perfect for anyone who likes all the bells and whistles on their GUI.
