PC User’s Freedom (for Aroua)
27 March 2007, Hedi |
PC and Macs are different. Some say PC’s are better, some other knows that Mac is better 
But great softs remains great softs.
Here is a list for a good friend of mine (PC User) and for all the PC users of the best application to have for their Windows based computers (non M$ applications /most of them are available for Mac OS too).
INTERNET:
* Internet Browser: Mozilla Firefox *. It’s the safest way to browse the internet with no Spywares.
* Multi chat client (able to manage MSN, AIM, ICQ and Yahoo at the same time with a unique contact list): Trillian
* Internet Calls: Skype *
* IRC Client: mIRC
* eMail Client: Mozilla Thunderbird *
* Gnutella P2P Network: Limewire *
* BitTorrents Client: Azureus *
MULTIMEDIA:
* MP3 Player + Jukebox + iPod synchroniser + Music Store: iTunes *
* Any format video player (avi, divx, mov etc..): VLC *
* Photo Manager and viewer: Picasa
* CD/DVD Burner: Nero
* Apple .mov and mp4 videos player: Quicktime Player (bundled with iTunes)
SECURITY:
* Antivirus: Kaspersky
* Anti-Spyware: Ad-aware SE Personal
* Anti-Spam: NONE just a Google Mail (@gmail.com) address will do it (send me a mail requesting an invitation and I’ll send you one)
OTHER TOOLS:
* Free Office Applications (instead of M$ Office): Open Office *
* Free Widgets Manager: Yahoo! Widgets * (ex-Konfabulator)
* Free Image Editing Software: The Gimp *
* available for Mac & PC

I would like to see a continuation of the topic
Ok I’m going to work on it again and try to keep it up to date.
But all these applications are “classics” and they still do exist I believe.
I will see if it has to be updated. For the antivirus software, I think avast is better than Kaspersky, that’s for the moment the only idea I have.
