Development of Microsoft Works has been discontinued. You can still buy it but the final version was 9.0 which, according to the Microsoft website, requires XP or Vista:

The cheapest Microsoft product (replacing Works) for Windows 7 is Office 2010 Home and Student Edition:

OpenOffice is completely free and just as good (or better, since it offers more features):

Lotus Symphony is another freebie which can save you forking out for anything from Microsoft:

If I buy or download Open Office will I be able to use my existing Works programs?

OpenOffice can open and edit documents created with any Microsoft product (such as Works or Office). It can also save documents in Microsoft formats (so that you can send them to people who are using Works or Office).

Many major public bodies (such as councils and police forces) now use OpenOffice in preference to paying for Microsoft product licences.
