I have not much right now in mind but the one that I never forget and also using it right now is FireFox.. I know that you people will be also using it during your posting... :oops:

I think the greatest thing to happen to the internet recently was Opera becoming freeware. Firefox is a great brower, but Opera seriously rocks.

My favorite free software at the moment is FreeMind. It's a mind mapping program, allowing you to create mind maps of information, instead of taking notes in the normal linear fashion. You should check it out, it's actually a great way to remember things, because it's supposed to work with how the brain normally organizes things into clusters.

How were you able to get photoshop and dreamweaver for free? A friend? Because they are pretty costly programs.

My favorite free software is Wordpress. It's enabled me to make a pretty efficient and clean-looking site for no cost. I can't imaging having to start from scratch and spending much more time having to learn everything. This way, I learn as a I go, but there isn't a huge gap between what I know and what I can do.

^Another good one, though it seems more like a platform than a program, but, I wouldn't know where to draw the line between the two. A similar program, which I've heard being referred to as an "envrionment," is Joomla. When I master Wordpress and have some free time I definitely want to experiment with Joomla by building another site.

Yes, I'm curious too...how are Photopshop and Dreamweaver considered free programs, when they are the more expensive programs out there. Although I do have to say though that students get discounted rates, down to a couple hundred of dollars depending on the discount.

I really like Word Press too, and in my opnion I think it could easily sell for a couple hundred of dollars.

Keller Miller 06-06-2009 10:47 AM

Guys you all have forgotten AVG Virus Gurad.
However, Are you all sure that "photoshop" is free still??

nixies 06-16-2009 03:08 AM

My favorite free someware is a really simple notepad upgrade called notepad SX.

It's kinf of notepad but with some really simple excel type functions worked in like sorting, chaging case, getting rid of blank lines so on.

uday1583 08-31-2009 10:55 PM

My favorite free software is Openoffice and Avira Personal Antivirus. I am using office to all my data processing needs and Avira for my protection. The avira free antivirus version does not expire unlike other antivirus.

Malwarebytes is my new favorite malware removal tool. You can get it from download.com and its great for removing those pest programs.

Bryan Dixon 10-14-2009 12:50 AM

My favorite free software that is very useful for at this time, is Openoffice and Avira Antivirus. Although MS Office is very much convenient to use, but it is to expensive for me to avail, so Open Office is really doing great for at this moment.

TechGuru9 11-26-2009 12:27 PM

firefox
chrome
ccleaner
avg
