This one I get asked about a lot. OK. What software should we have in our PC. I always say, go with the free stuffs that actually work... But where to get them? There are really good people out there who write these stuffs for free..(maybe it is free, but these people do get famous and their resume look awesome.. so it is their motivation). Go and check out the link, might just save you couple of hundred bucks and headaches (for installing software that just screw up your PC and doesn't really work)... Happy trying freeloaders :-)
Disclaimers: the suggestions below are my own personal recommendation only.. I never assess the complexity of each software..so, use them at your own risk ya. I might do the review of each software later to explain the benefits...(during my lazy days like this one).
and p/s: the formatting is screwed on this posting... well somebody will need to re-learn that!
