There is a lot of software out there that is free or inexpensive.

This is exactly why linux is so great and this is just a small sample of available software. Linux itself is also free. and there are many many more programs available. People often question whether they can exchange software with people using Windows. Well, linux software can read and write all Windows formats including document and spreadsheet formats, even old formats not supported anymore by MS Office. You don't have to resort to computer shops to reinstall the operating system either!

I often start with the free version and then decide that it's worth paying for an upgrade. I did that with SyncBack.

openoffice.org is a great alternative to Windows Office.
