[Windows 10] Neat Office (Word, Excel, PDF, Powerpoint Alternative) - $0 (Was $149.95) @ Microsoft Store

Neat Office, previously seen here, here, & here, is currently available for free on the Windows Store, save $149.95, if anyone's looking for a Microsoft Office substitute. I've recently started using it after my student access to Microsoft Office ran out, & it's pretty good from what I can tell, or at least it has been for my purposes, anyway. I used SoftMaker Office for a little while, but it was buggy & annoying on my touchscreen computer - Neat Office has been much better so far. Neat's got heaps of functionality I haven't explored yet, so I'll insert the obligatory 'your mileage may vary' caveat here, just in case. You can download it free until the end of May if you'd like to give it a go for free this time around.

Here's the description from the Windows Store:
