WPS: the best replacement of MS Office, free for none-biz
xbeta:
WPS Office(or called Kingsoft Office) suites is made in China, and now has localized to English. It was better than MS office until windows 95 released. After that, it lost many users. But now, they rebuild their products. Now it's very very alike to MS office, with 99% functions & 99% Compatible to MS Office format, but with only 40+MB to download.
Kingsoft Writer, Kingsoft Spreadsheets, and Kingsoft Presentation are compatible with
Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint respectively,
and they are compatible in two-way reading and writing.
Although I use OOo instead of WPS, but I think it's better for basic users.

Darwin:
I've heard good things about this suite... we're talking over a year ago here and I remember the reviewers all lamenting the lack of an English language version. This should remedy that! I'm looking forward to trying it...
xbeta:
kingsoft company, the author of wps, is a Chinese company.
Almost all their market share is in China.
that's why the WPS english version comes out too late.
Maybe the english version is not free for personal use, I am not sure.
But the Chinese version is free.
