Firefox (Web Browser)
Alternative to Internet Explorer. Faster, better, more secure and highly configurable with extensions. Why use IE?

2 |
Thunderbird (Email)
Alternative to Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. More stable, easier to manage, safer (less prone to virus and spyware attacks) and, like Firefox, it has TONS of extensions available.

OpenOffice
Free alternative to Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Access PLUS a drawing/graphics program.
OK, if you are used to living in a 100% Microsoft world, this one might take a bit of getting used to. But it does 99% of anything you'll ever need (including reading and writing Office files) PLUS more, like being able to save directly to Adobe PDF format.
