Freeware Revolution

This post comes after a substantial gap...

It was a long time back that I read about the freeware revolution. At that time, it hardly seemed plausible that one day I would be able to replace almost all the properietary software on my computer with freeware and yet derive the same level of functionality. Today, I see it happening right before my eyes on my home computer...

Some freeware applications I am willing to swear by -

Office suite - OpenOffice.org suite
Anti virus - Avast! Home Edition
Anti Spyware - Spybot Search and Destroy
Firewall - Zone Alarm
Browser - Firefox
Instant Messenger client - Trillian
RSS Reader - Sage (the extension for Firefox)
RSS Builder - IceRocket.com
Music Player - Winamp
P2P client - Limewire

May God bless all these freeware vendors for the kind of effort they are putting in to make the computing experience both secure and enjoyable for everybody!
