You might be surprised at the number of top quality applications you can get your hands on without paying anything. There's the comprehensive office suite OpenOffice.org, for example, which gives Microsoft Office a run for its money (as well as saving you several hundreds of pounds). For managing and enhancing photos, try Google's Picasa and the GIMP image editing program — both packages boast a wide range of professional features and can be downloaded and used for free.
In this edition of PC Explorer we've brought together the very best freeware applications that money can't buy — from programs to encode and burn video content, to utilities that can help you manage your time and ideas more efficiently.
We've also devoted a large section of the magazine to online applications, programs that you can access through your Web browser on any PC with an Internet connection. Your files and documents can also be stored online, saving you the trouble of having to transfer them between various computers at home and at work.
You'll find that you can save yourself a hefty amount of money by employing some of these freeware tools, which in many cases are just as powerful and user friendly as their commercial equivalents — we hope you enjoy browsing through the selection we've put together.
