Check out Minitab Release 13. This is the software used by most of the Six
Sigma Black Belt companies. It has very strong DOE, SPC, Process Capability,
and Measurement System Analysis tools. Also, make sure you take a look at
their help tools (the manuals, on-line help, real-time tutorials, and their
new statguide) - it is without a doubt best in class.
Also, don't underestimate the fact that Minitab Inc. has essentially one
product: Minitab. Their support isn't watered down by a myriad of modules
and other software (such as SPSS and SAS).
You can download a full working copy (limited to 30 days of use) at
http://www.minitab.com
(I don't work for Minitab or have any connection with them except for being
an extremely satisfied customer)
