9. Another vote for OpenOffice 4 from Apache ... great free program suite for light office use.

Open Source, it opens/Edits doc, docx, xls, xlsx, etc, and the UI is pretty dang similar to Office.

Not sure if it opens an mdb (access db) as I've not tried. Probably can open powerpoint as well I'd think.
