Free unlimited day trial of OpenOffice
The Open Source Industry in the UK, Europe, and Worldwide is offering a free infinite-day trial to encourage schools and businesses to try out OpenOffice.
No DRM
No bizarre, dysfunctional product 'activation'
No closed file formats
No cost (hidden or otherwise)
If you get your copy at, er, any point you can have as many additional free extra copies as you'd like.
If you are familiar with the look and feel of Microsoft Office 95, 97, 2000, etc. you will be familiar with the look and feel of OpenOffice - it's certainly much closer to these products than Office 20007 is! Plus you get the reassurance of an existing international document standard.
Support and Training is available... well, pretty much everywhere. You can try any of the companies who are members of the Open Source Consortium for starters.
