The 10.x Ubuntu has a very usable desktop I think ...

If you need a good spreadsheet that will save the work in lots of formats;

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install gnumeric

This program will even read old corel quatro.

A lot of Widows applications will run under WINE update the WINE and install WINE tricks.

The nice thing is that LINUX will self update without a new format and no license fee to Microsoft. It's not the license fee really ? it's all the data that has to be backed off and the programs that you have to reinstall ? time is money ... With Ubuntu and other flavors of LINUX you can update to the most current system available.
