Qt would be the serious avenue - also whatever the new Delphi is - Qt
has a commercial Win32 implementation which is idential in API to the
free X11 one. And the new Delphi allegedly will be source-portable
with Kylix.
Of course, there is Gtk/Win32, but I haven't seen it myself.

If you don't mind screaming at Staroffice...
Applixware OTOH was wonderful... except last I heard it sounded like
it was no more - but I'm probably mistaken about that - I do so little
word processing nowadays I stopped paying attention to what was
happening.
