If you're the adventurous type, and you have a fairly new
PC with a big (20GB+) hard drive, look into Linux. You
can make the machine dual boot (run both Linux and XP).
Linux will be able to read files on the XP side (but not
vice versa, I don't believe). Linux is free to download:
www.redhat.com/ or www.debian.org/ or 
www.caldera.com/ or www.suse.net, or you can get it in 
the back of a $40 Linux book, your choice, available at 
most book stores.  It has a choice of Windows-like 
interfaces if you are command-line challenged.

You'll find the Office solution you are looking for with 
Sun's Star Office for $80: www.sun.com/staroffice/ .
And there are other freeware/shareware solutions as well.
See: http://www.linux-office.net/

HTH,
Kent
