Believe it or not, there *is* an Appleworks for Windows.  Check out the Appleworks page:
http://www.apple.com/appleworks/

Look at the update section on the right.  You'll find:
AppleWorks 6.2.1 for Windows 
This free update to AppleWorks for Windows provides improvements to the spreadsheet. 

I believe it's only offered to schools, however.  Apple heard complaints, as I understand it, that PC users at schools couldn't open Appleworks docs, so there you go.  I'm sure there's a better, cheaper solution, but just thought I'd point out that there is an AW for Windows.
