Of course you didn't mention Mac or PC... in any case, the MDA piano is one of the best ones out their for free (there are better ones, but you'd have to pay.)

Am I the only one who cannot stand the sound of a synthesized piano? I kept reading all this stuff about how great the piano was on a Kurzweil, so I bought one but after playing it for 10 minutes put it back up on eBay...
