Not sure whether this has ever been mentioned because I'm new here, but this should appeal to legit start ups that can't afford to buy MS Office products.

www.openoffice.org

I'm been using them for a while and would highly recommend it. Can open, read, write word and excel files plus has the added bonus of being able to create PDF documents.

For more advanced users it also has some very nice database (MySQL) integration things.

Hope someone finds it useful anyway.

Regards,

Jon

P.S. While on the subject on MS products.... everyone should also try the Firefox browser, which is far superior to Internet Explorer
