Best MS Office Alternative is Libre Office or Open Office. (We Suggest Libre Office)

You didn't mentioned which product of Adobe, if it's Photoshop, freeware alternative is GIMP.

You should atleast buy Windows, Though this could set you back by atleast 5K if you get a 7 Home Basic, but will be worth the investment. Softwares? usually, there are alternatives to most of them. You need to post your requirements here and people here might help you.

there are ways to obtain them for free but any discussion related to piracy is not allowed in here so .... but you can always use free alternatives, talk and discuss about those and I think you already have got some nice alternative apps name - just go to their official website to download those :

Apache OpenOffice - The Free and Open Productivity Suite
Home » LibreOffice

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program
Inkscape. Draw Freely.
Pencil - a traditional 2D animation software
blender.org - Home

Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
The KMPlayer's Forums
Best PDF Reader
