 Free writing program
Hey Data Realms. About a half of a year ago I bought a new computer... which I regret doing for multiple reasons such as bad power unit, graphics card, etc... And it only came with a trial of Microsoft Office 2007, which is absolute ♥♥♥♥. The trial expired recently and I have been looking for a good free alternative to Microsoft Word, which was pretty much the only thing on Office I used. Got any recommendations?

If you don't mind a little bit of load time, OpenOffice does anything MS Office can do. I'm sure there are other, faster options.

AbiWord is fast, but lacks the 2^65 ish abilities that both word and OOo have.
