Free/open-source alternatives to various softwares

Outlook PST viewer
Google: lightweight|simple free pst browser|explorer search|filter

Office suite that is free for commercial/business use
SoftMaker FreeOffice: it's completely free for both personal and commercial use.
LibreOffice: LibreOffice is free for use by everybody. You may take this copy of LibreOffice and install it on as many computers as you like, and use it for any purpose you like (including commercial, government, public administration and educational use).

Apache OpenOffice: You may use OpenOffice for any purpose without restriction: private, educational, public administration, commercial... Free, really free.
LibreOffice looks very much like a Microsoft Office app, down to the menu ribbon of buttons and options that line the top of your screen.
In contrast, OpenOffice is a bit drab and gray-looking and has smaller menu icons that line the top of its windows. But it does resemble Google Docs, so if you prefer the minimalist look of Google Docs and its straightforward menus, OpenOffice might be the best choice for you.

WPS Office is NOT free: No commercial entities or organizations are permitted to use the functionally restricted version of the Software.

How to "replace" watermark (comment section)
you just need to edit a image.
that would likely be be here....
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Kingsoft\WPS Office\10.1.0.5507\office6\mui\default\resource\authorization
It's named "trialwatermark" exiting in a .png format.
I did not try to delete it, as it might recreate the file (I do not know)
Instead, I edit it into a blank image by erasing it using Photo Shop.

WTF! WPS Office is adding watermark to the documents I print
WPS Office Free now adds watermark to all the documents we print
It's better to stick with Kingsoft Office if you want a true free version. Especially Kingsoft v9.1.0.4550 which even allows saving in .docx and .xlsx and is available at Filehippo. Or switching to Softmarker Office is the next best idea.
