Linux has built in free alternatives to MS Office products.
The most popular freeware alternative to Microsoft Office for use on a PC is OpenOffice.
It offers a wide range of advanced editing modes and has have the advantage of built-in spread sheeting.
The disadvantage is that it is quite slow.
Atlantis Word Processor from Rising Sun Solutions is a very good shareware product for a small price.
I use this on my laptop and find it adequate for every day use.
WordPerfect from Corel is an excellent full priced alternative that started up in the mid 80's and set the high standards that Microsoft replicated in the late 80' and early 90's and finally managed to dominate the market. WordPerfect is available for most operating systems, from VMS to Llinux and on to Unix and Windows. The latest version (X4 from April 2008) is reported to be excellent.

You could use OpenOffice, my school uses it instead of Microsoft Word and it works fairly well. To download go to www.openoffice.org

Microsoft is of course the most well-known name in word processing, with their Microsoft Office suite. Before Microsoft Office there was Corel WordPerfect, which reached its peak in popularity in the early 1990s, but not many people use it today. Today, the most popular alternative to Microsoft Office is OpenOffice, which is free open source software, but I don't know if you can call that a "brand" since it is open source. Free online word processors, such as Google Docs are growing in popularity, but at this point they are mainly used by individuals and not companies. -DJ Craig
