Top 5 Free Software Downloads

The Internet was always meant to be free, I mean, apart from the common infrastructure costs, the Internet was and is still free. This fad is soon catching up in the area of software, with everyone wanting a slice of free-to-use software, available on the Internet.

Of course, a few years ago free software was frowned upon, and was said to be the forte of only cheap people who did not want to pay money for their software. However, with the herald of open source software, free software, good, workable, free software is actually a reality looming large on all those companies making millions of bucks selling software that is not something higher than substandard and something lesser than incompetent.

This list is just a ramble of a person who has been using computers since the past thirteen years (yes, I know thirteen is a unlucky number, am waiting for something wrong to happen, do not remind me of the number thirteen being unlucky).

The below list is sadly, mostly open source. This is not saying that Open Source software is bad, its just saying that apart from some companies, just that some companies yet have to hone their paid software as compared to the free software available around. Some of this software has been called Goliath’s demise, simply because of the way these nifty pieces of rascally code actually got huge companies down their knees. Here is the list.
