MoveOnBoot allows you to copy, move or delete files on the next system boot. This can come handy if you need to replace or delete files that are locked by other applications, loaded into memory or cannot be changed until next system boot.

I cant believe nobody has mentioned openoffice! Just like Microsoft Office, except it is totally free (has all the program equivalents of powerpoint, word, excel etc). It is also compatible with Microsoft Office aswell, which is really useful when sending documents to other people who dont have OpenOffice.
