Theres a list of all the freeware I use: 1. Mozilla Firefox 3: This is the Open Source browser that you all know about. The extensions I use are Glasser (for the vista effect), Adblock Plus (to block ads), remove it permanently ( to remove other unwanted elements in a website), FlashGot (download manager integration), Basics (to add a "new tab" button), all-in-one gestures (this provides mouse gestures but i use it just for the tab scroll feature), DownloadHelper (to download embedded videos from any site), Menu Editor (to cleanup the tools menu and the right-click menu), Greasemonkey ( adding scripts as needed), Userstyles ( to add custom CSS), Hide Menubar (to increase screen real estate). 2. Crap Cleaner: This cleans up all kinds of temporary files and broken shortcuts and what not. Cleans up a few 100MB worth of crap every week. It also fixes problems with the registry. 3. Foxit Reader: To open PDF Files. I also use WinDJView to open djvu files and Comical to open cbz files 4. Free Download Manager: Wondering what this software does? 5. IzArc: This is a great archiver that supports all formats like zip, rar, cab and 7z and many many more. Can open archives that open programs deem corrupted. For a program with a better interface try TugZip. 6. K-Lite Mega Codec Pack: This installs all the codecs you will need to run any kind of media file. You need to install QuickTime Alternative separately for quicktime movie support. You can use any media player but it provides Media Player Classic if you want to use it. Sometimes Media Player Classic can open files that open media players can't. 7. Adobe AIR: This is a runtime that I use for a number of apps 7a. Doomi: A simple to do list 7b. DestroyFlickr: Flickr browser 7c. DiggTop: Shows you the top digg stories including images and videos. And you can view the images and videos in the air app itself. 7d. ReadAir: Google Reader on you desktop 7e. Snippely: Saves snippets of codes 7f. Snackr: This is a brilliant RSS Reader. It is basically a ticker that scrolls across the bottom (or top/left/right) if your screen and you can read all the news you want. Very useful for people who are experiencing information overload. I use it to monitor sites like CNN, BBC, WSJ, etc. where i dont need to read every article. 8. uTorrent: To download movies, TV Shows, etc. 9. Pidgin: to login into multiple im accounts at once. You might use meebo.com instead. 10. Mozilla Prism: To create prisms from websites. That is use websites as desktop applications. So whats you pick of freewares?

Goodness, what freeware don't I seem to use. I keep updating Mozilla Firefox browsers, too. I use a lot of graphics programs, that, to me was freeware. I have a lot of updated programs that were educational versions. This is stuff that needs subscriptions or even buying software, but were free to me. I don't know the next time I will have anymore freeware that is Adobe Photoshop CS, or even Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. These were all part of a package deal. I have the tutorial texts that went with my classes. I have a lot of freeware like firewalls, and antiviruses that were all free through educational packages. I used a lot of different Adwares and Spybots, but I just don't add them to my system anymore. I don't really 'surf' the net like I used to, so I go to tons of TRUSTED sites. And I have had a few viruses, but they were caught and deleted before it took any kind of affect. I do a lot of MP3 conversion programs, RIP from CD, and I am looking for audio recording software. I have animation software, and even used some form of financial programs. They were like hybrids of like Microsoft Money. So freeware is great, shareware gets a little complicated at times. I used to use Limewire, Bearshare, and even Napster at one point... oh yeah, they are basically illegal usage now... so I don't anymore. I will be googling everything I can to try to find and research anything good that can be used online, not cheap... but FREE! Have fun hunting! I know I will! - skedad -

I see the posts with the messengers. I have used many of the popular ones, but I don't really do it a whole lot right now. I basically use or have used Trillian, meaning Yahoo!, MSN, and I have a really old AOL account. I like that it is all combined, but I just don't seem to have the time to sit and type and blab these days. I think I would be on the phone a lot more these days. I thnk if Trillian beefed up their basic to add a lot of cool features that each service has, then I would be using it tons more. I guess I would have to get Pro, but that is money, and I don't want to use it that bad, and then it would be freeware anymore!

Haven't seen anyone mentioned InkScape (http://www.inkscape.org/). It is great tool for doing some vector graphics. It is similar to Corel Draw (not as powerful though), but it can get job done quite easily. The good side is that it is quite popular and you can find many great tutorials for it to do some magic

Well, so I thought to list what I'm using free too, freeware is usually good Firefox, Opera as my web browsers, I also have Google chrome installed, as it is using webkit, I don't really need Safari for windows, because it's using the same engine. Skype, Pidgin, XChat free compiled windows version by SilvereX to chat ;] Winamp, VLC and Quick Time Alternative with k-lite codec Pack for my media, music and movies.. I also can include Last.fm software here to show my stats on the net.. Gimp and Paint.net to Edit images, irfan view to view images, but for jpg,png and gif I'm using the simple Windows image viewer.. it works alright for me just to look at pictures/photos.. I have Open Office, but usually I use Windows Office, because most of the work is required to be done with it in work and university.. Visual Studio 6 and Visual studio 2005 for programming c,c++c# and directX, never paid for it, so I guess it counts as freeware? I'm not creating anything serious to register Notepad2 as alternative to Notepad, it's free, I used to use Notepad++, but I don't anymore.. I have Clam win free antivirus ans spy bot search and destroy and adaware the freeware version, but usually I don't need those, I think the only good thing is teat timer, which looks on my registry.. ;] I also use CCleaner and CleanUp! to clean up most of my temp files and etc. Lets don't forget, that I'm using 7-zip File manager for my archives and CDBurnerXP to burn my CDs or create .iso files ;] I also use uTorrent for torrents and ApexDC++ to connect to a DC++ Hub, a lot of years ago I used to use Emule and Soulseek, but I don't anymore.. For my WAMP I am using Wampserver, which in my opinion is really good and for my FTP client, I never found anything better on Windows than Filezilla FTP Client For viewing PDF files, I use Adobe acrobat, which sometimes can be slow, but I also have Sumatra PDF viewer which can be much faster.. To use IE6 and IE7 I'm using MultipleIE with which that can be possible, as I remember it also works on Vista ;] Tried a lot of other software too, blender, inkscape and so on, but in the list I think it's the main software I'm using!

While i use windows Xp for my desktop, i use Andlinux for just about every other application that i use. I develop a game in C, so i use Kdevelop, Gcc, Svn, Konsole, Valgrind, Gdb and the like daily + all the normal productivity apps Open Office, Mozilla, Filezilla. Pretty much open source and open software is my day to day computing experience. For those that have never heard of Andlinux, check it out, its a port of the Linux kernel to windows, and it means you can run Linux at native speeds within a 32 bit windows environment. There is no emulation hassles associated with it like you have with Cygwin or Vmware. Just pure Linux with Xp's somewhat ugly window dressing.
