If you haven't heard about a free program that does everything that Microsoft Office does and more, then you should really be looking at OpenOffice.

1. It's free

2. It can read all Microsoft and open formats

3. It can export as PDF

4. It runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, ... (written in Java I believe)

5. It's open source

6. Various other features have been added which MS now adds to MS Office in order to catch up (like auto-completion).
