Open Source
Open Source, while not necessarily free (a lot of programs offer paid support, for instance), is definitely a viable alternative for many businesses and individuals. The most glaring example for me is Photoshop, an application often victimized by pirating because it is just plain expensive. I use The Gimp for what little graphic editing I do. I make a tiny scrape in the top surface of the layer upon layer of Gimp features. This link has a list of 50 open source alternatives to commercial software and OS.
