Another possibility is Breadbox Ensemble 4 (a GEOS-based product), from
Breadbox, http://www.breadbox.com
This a complete productivity suite (which does not really compare to
Win+Office in terms of number of (useless) features, but does a very
good job and you are not tied to the M$ standards and prices. It runs
fine on 386-class PCs.
They have an evaluation version from which you may try the Web browser.
