Best free Word Processor that's compatible with Microsoft Word?

hey guys, i'm looking at moving over to the Mac in a couple days and i just need to know the best free Word Processor that can open .doc files. 99% of my docs made in Word are of the 97-2003 variety and not 2007's .docx.

appreciate any help.

thanks

Just D/L Neo Office (and maybe OpenOffice) and give it a try, it's free.

i'm going to try out neo office first as it has the same menus as OS X. it's a legitimate company too, right?
