I believe Gnumeric and Abiword work on Windows, as well.

See sites like:

  TheOpenCD
  http://www.theopencd.org/

  GNUWin II (no longer maintained?)
  http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/en/index.html

  The Open Source Software CD
  http://osscd.sunsite.dk/

And, of course, the likes of Freshmeat.net and SourceForge.net.

For example, FM lets you browse by Operating System.  "Windows" is here
(and is broken down into Cygwin, Win 3.1, Win95/98/ME, WinCE and WinNT/2K/XP)

Good luck!
