Can't  resist the opportunity...

Well, there is always LaTeX and BibTeX which when combined with
emacs with AucTeX and refTex lisp packages will give you everything
word/endnote etc can possibly offer. And much more. And with latex2html
you can convert it all to beautifully hyperlinked html (and read to msword
if you wish :-). Not to mention making slides with seminar package,
converting documents to pdf etc. 

And it is free too and available to "all" possible platforms: Unix in
various flavours, VAX, Linux, DOS/Win, Mac.

Ok, you might spend a bit more time learning it, but it will not change
completely every year as M$ products do - it only gets better. 

see http://www.tex.ac.uk/ for (la)tex archive 
and http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/ for brief
primer to LaTeX.
