Open Office
http://www.openoffice.org/
Other must-have downloads: Firefox (for internet browsing), Thunderbird (for email), ShockWave player, Real Player and so the list goes on.
Just thought I should add that if you create an Open Office document and email it to someone, they won't be able to open it unless they also have Open Office installed - a bit of a disadvantage.

If you just need basic office functionality, Google has a solution which doesen't require you to download a 500 MB suite like Open Office. In fact, you don't need to download ANYTHING! Check it out at:

Open Office is over 100 megs.
Abiword is only 8 or less. If you only need basic word / edit / hyperlinking capabilities in a clean, easy, free program, abiword is over 10 times smaller than open office and works fine on on older os like win 98.

its a cross platform (runs on Windows / Linux/ and Macs
its free, and available from Tucows, or download .com
it does things office cant, like create PDF's and its veersion of word is actually FAR superior to gates sad offering.

OpenOffice:)
Just wanted to add that when you save a file you have an option to save it in doc. (for ex) format, so anyone can open it:)
