R is great if you want to learn a programming language and is free, but
if you want a powerful menu driven Stats tool, then you could try our program GenStat
(www.genstat.com). It's much cheaper than SAS or SPSS and has more modern statistics.
The software was started in 1968 so it has a long history of refinement and improvement.

I'm grad student, doing some biological data analysis. Although I use R/Python/MATLAB exclusively, I have seen my colleagues use some of the following things. R/Python are standard norms here. Beyond that, if you're looking for tools with "nice" GUI and built-in analysis, you're really looking at a large variety. No tool does everything (or just-about-everything), but many tools do a lot of things.
On commercial end, cheapest to get into would be JMP. Then you're looking at Stata. SAS and SPSS are mostly cost-prohibitive unless a large company or university is paying. On open-source end, you have Deducer, which is similar to JMP (but has quite limited set of features). There's also Minitab for quality control related analysis.
There are some programs to help you with specific type of analysis. For example, machine learning and data mining related work can be done using Weka. Data mining and visualization using GGobi and Cranvas (requires R, but it's worth a look I think). Network analysis related statistics are available through Gephi and Cytoscape. Bayesian simulation via nice "friendly" programs based on BUGS Project.
There are tons more for specific types of tasks, but I think most of the tasks you wish to do, above mentioned tools can get you your answers.

Wow, that is a lot of stuff new to me. Thank you, it might take me some time, but I'll try to look at all links provided

Does anyone have any experience with this?

It looks interesting. I quite like Qt.
I too dabbled in pacifism once.

Nope. Looks interesting, but that's the great thing about the Internet. Looks can be quite deceiving.

Anyone else here watching it?

Nope nobody ever watches it or comments about it on here. Not even that Aussie who's always whinging that his team lose it.

I flipped the channel to check it out just in time to see a bloke running around in a black bra. A strange code this.

Why? Simply because it's not often that I read a article that includes such good advice: "you shouldn't drink the blood of someone with Ebola"
In fact, never before - and I can't see a situation when I'd want to read it again...

Perhaps if you get turned into a vampire?  Provided you weren't immune to Ebola then.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

I'm a Brit who has never tried black pudding (never wants to!) does that make me less of a Brit...

I'll try eating anything once: Black Pudding was a "once". It's a "Marmite" moment, I think: you love it or you hate it.

Much like Haggis I assume....

Haggis, tatties'n'neeps with a tot is good!
Especially if you get the Left-handed Haggis - the Right-handed ones are a bit tough.

Left handed have longer legs on the left for running clockwise round the mountains; right handed the converse.

Hmmm... still put off by it though!

Very similar, the recipes aren't that different after all.
Black pudding is one of those things that a low quality one is just disgusting, whereas a good one has a nice balance of flavours and textures that works quite well. I don't really like it myself, whereas I do like haggis, though.
