Ubuntu linux. Plain and simple.

* It installs with openoffice.
* Installs all the MS office equivalent tools such as the Evolution 
groupware suite which is very similar to MS Outlook (minus the bugs ;)
* Hardware compatibility is supreme.
* It does not overload you with 5000 apps that you are not going to use 
but by the same token makes everything available in the linux community 
a snap to install using the Synaptic package manger.
* Networking is a no-brainer. Plug it into your windows network and 
samba figures everything out for you.
* Simple, useful, straightforward Gnome based interface - I would be 
willing to bet there is no need for you to ever even visit the command 
line on this distro.
* Free CD if you dont feel like downloading the ISO (even though its 
only a single iso as opposed to 3 for fedora or some other distros)

Get it NOW!
