POO

Which stands for Portable Open Office, the totally free alternative to Microshaft's products. I just used the Calc one to do some Excel functions that I didn't have on my venerable copy of Excel, but which a spreadsheet I'd created on a current version of Excel (back when I was a working stiff) happened to have. POO opened the file just fine, did what I wanted, and saved it as an excel-readable (ie, .XLS) file.

Not one hundred percent compatible, but damn close. And did I mention, totally free?

Awesome.
