Moz Wanted Community Service FREEWARE WINDOWS

No adware, no spyware, just good software.FREEWARE Windows is a simple list of the best free and open source software for Windows.

Web Browsing

Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation.

Chrome

Chrome is Google's attempt to make the Web browser disappear and to focus on the applications and pages users are viewing, rather than on the border with its tools. Some of Chrome's basic underpinnings are quite novel, but people will recognize other features, as they exist in other open-source Web browsers on the market today.

Opera

Although not as popular as Firefox or Chrome, Opera is nothing less than an excellent alternative. The program is known for striving to be the fastest, smallest, and most full-featured browser available. Even if sometimes it doesn't hit all of those marks, Opera has developed a dedicated following of both desktop and mobile users.

Email

Mozilla Thunderbird

Mozilla Thunderbird combines smart browsing with sharp innovations aimed at both Web-mail clients and industry standards like Microsoft Outlook. Basics like junk-mail filters, HTML support, multiple identities, and POP, IMAP, and Microsoft Exchange server support load fast and are bolstered by S/MMIE, digital signing, message encryption, and a phishing detector. Interface tweaks maximize message viewing--a necessity in an e-mail reader.

Office and productivity

OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org includes powerful applications for making text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, diagrams, databases, and HTML and XML documents. It handles complex equations and multipart documents as easily as simple letters and faxes.

AbiWord

when you're looking for just the word processor without the massive suite behind it. It has a quick learning curve with an interface similar to those in Word and WordPerfect, and is compatible with both MS Word 2007 and OpenOffice.org 3.

Nitro PDF Reader (32-bit)

Nitro's new free PDF reader takes the key features that you want in a PDF reader, a familiar interface, and smooth functionality and combines them into an eminently usable program that doesn't get in between you and your documents.

Image Editor

Gimp

Photo editing application that rivals Photoshop in features.

Paint.NET

Graphics editor with a very nice interface.

Inkscape

Vector graphics application.

Gadwin PrintScreen

With sophisticated features at no cost, it's hard to reach higher than Gadwin PrintScreen. An attractive, easily navigated interface opens up a customization wonderland for users to decide default settings for shortcut key associations, capture preferences, and output.

Audio & Video

Miro

Beautiful interface. Plays any video type (much more than windows media player). Subscribe to video RSS, download, and watch all in one. Torrent support. Search and download from YouTube and others.

Miro Video Converter

Convert any type of video to mp4 or theora. Convert any video for use with iPhone, iPod, Android, etc. Very clean, easy to use interface.

VLC

Plays more video files than most players: Quicktime, AVI, DIVX, OGG, and more. Pretty good interface.

MPlayer

Similar to VLC-- plays loads of video formats.

Media Player Classic

Compact, but powerful media player. Plays anything under the sun. No install necessary.

MediaMonkey Standard

MediaMonkey has proven itself with excellent library management tools that keep even the largest digital-music collections well organized. Stir that up with integrated CD and DVD burning, a stellar interface, a full-featured encoder, and the ability to sync with portable MP3 players, and you have a compelling product.

The KMPlayer

It includes a vast array of video- and audio-capturing options, as well as skins, a plethora of playback controls and tweaks, and broad DVD support.

File compression

PeaZip

Fantastic archiving utility to extract and pack archives of an extensive amount of formats. PeaZip also features password protecting archives, keyfile support, system integration, a lovely interface, and much more.

7-Zip

7-Zip unpacks most archive formats, including ZIP, TAR, GZ, RAR, and its own 7z format. It can create TAR and GZ archives, which are commonly used on Unix and Linux systems. In our tests, 7z archives were up to 40 percent smaller than their ZIP equivalents, although compression did take longer.

IZArc

IZArc modestly bills itself as the ultimate archiving utility--we're not so sure about that "ultimate" bit. Nevertheless, IZArc is definitely one of the best archiving utilities out there. Compatible with a huge number of archive formats, all the major ones are represented, as well as 7z (from 7-Zip), ISO, BH (Black Hole), and TAR, among others. It can create archives for many of the formats it can read, too, including 7z and TAR. It doesn't, however, create GZ archives.

Chat

Pidgin

Connect to multiple IM accounts simultaneously in a single app, including: AOL IM, MSN, and Jabber. 

Trillian Astra

A more polished-looking alternative to Pidgin is Trillian Astra. More than three years in the making, Trillian returns with a slew of new core essentials, including long-overdue support for Google, MySpace IM, Skype, and Facebook, as well as AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and IRC. Both POP3 and IMAP e-mail checking see some love here, too.

Skype
Chat and Make internet calls for free with Skype.
