Microsoft Works
What is Microsoft Works?
Microsoft Works was a basic office suite that is smaller, cheaper, and has fewer features than the Microsoft Office Suite. Its core functionality included a word processor, a spreadsheet and a database management system.
Latest versions had a calendar application and a dictionary while older releases included a terminal emulator.
Works was bundled with many computers for free.
Microsoft Works had built-in compatibility for the Microsoft Office document formats (DOC and XLS), including, but not limited to, the ability of the Works Word Processor to open Microsoft Word documents and the ability of the Works Spreadsheet to open
Microsoft Office Excel workbooks. Last versions included task panes but do not include significantly updated features.
Last version, 9.0, was released on September 2007.

thinks Oracle Open Office is an alternative to Microsoft Works
He he he. No one like Works, I used to use it back in primary school (the late 90's), but it is now surpassed by even low-grade free software, because its when practically unchanged since then. Not to mention the availability of OpenOffice.org which is an excellent suite.
Works... works. It's not a particularly good office suite, but it's pretty much free, despite its "commercial" label. Almost every computer comes bundled with it, so it's like a free (crappy) version of Microsoft Office.
