Access?  For a home user?  That’s insane!  Most home users actually
won’t use Access even if they have it.  It’s pretty complicated,
especially for your average Joe.

And Publisher could work out for a home user, except Word can do the
same, equally well (at least for a home user).  Why would they play
with a more complicated program, when they have a good enough thing in
Word?

Also, home users DO use PowerPoint.  One can make a photo album, for
example.  Or, if you have kids, they might have to create a
presentation for school (as a form of an essay).  PowerPoint is MUCH
more useful for a home user than (a) a user-unfriendly advanced
program; or (b) a more-or-less duplicate of what they have.

OneNote is actually available for free: http://www.onenote.com/
(though Evernote is superior)
