Look at Freeware: Article 2


iTunes: This counts as "50-50" freeware. iTunes is free, but it is not avalable for Linux and it is not open source. iTunes comes for free on a CD with every iPod. Download iTunes.

Soldat: This counts as "near" freeware. You do'nt have to pay anything to use the base programme. But, you do get a nag screen at the beggining and you can only use the "defult" user. Soldat is a great shoot-em-up. Download Soldat.


Google Earth: Google Earth is a programme that most people use to explore the earth and find directions. Google Earth is free, but is not open source (i think.) Google Moon is simmilar to Google Earth, see the wiki article. Download Google Earth

Thunderbird: Thunderbird is an email and news\RSS client. It is free, can be used with any manjor OS and has a large community of fans. Thunderbird also has support for extensions and themes. Thunderbird is completly free, and can be downloaded here.

Skype: Skype is a free IM, VoIP and FTP client. Skype is most popular for it's VoIP part. Skype sounds like a normal telephone, and you can even buy add-on phones! If you want, you can pay to get "Skype In", a phone number that others can dial (ones without Skype, obvisiouly) to talk to you. Skype Out is the same, execept you can call normal people using skype. Download Skype.

Well, thats the Freeware series!
