Also check out R, a GNU implementation of the S language, most prominently
known through its use in S-Plus. R is a fully featured statisitical
programming environment. In its MVA (Multivariate) package, it includes
routines for factor analysis using maximum liklihood estimation with varimax
and promax rotations.
R is open-source, which means that it is frequently updated and, most
importantly, it can be downloaded free of charge. The only downside (to
some) is that at this stage of its development R is completely
command-prompt driven. However, I find the R language intuitive and easy to
learn.

I have tried it and it is amazing. A bargain ;)
