Free software is a broad term encompassing all manner of computer code, from small utilities given away for nothing, to sprawling open source applications where the source code can be viewed, modified, and redistributed as the user sees fit. In this issue we'll be guiding you to the very best freeware available, from office suites to video editors and everything in between - you'll find that in many cases, the free alternatives are just as good if not better than their commercial equivalents. If you've always thought of freeware applications as sub-standard tools put together by amateurs, then you'll soon change your mind (take a look at some of the programs released for no charge by Google, for example).
Not only have we directed you to the best programs around, we've included detailed guides to each one, so you'll be up and running in minutes (and without paying a penny). Whether you want to create a presentation for the next board room meeting, catalogue your CD collection, stay in touch with friends and family or build your own website, there's a freeware tool or two that can help, and we've got them all covered. We've also included a section on PC security - you'll find that there are a selection of freeware applications that do a great job of keeping your computer safe and running smoothly. At the end of this issue we've also covered the latest Web-based freeware programs that can be run through a Web browser from any online PC in the world.
