30 Essential Pieces Of Free (and Open) Software for Windows Recently, I received a fresh new laptop from Dell. Upon receiving it, I did the traditional “installation of Windows from scratch” on it to remove a lot of the garbage that is preinstalled on Dells. Then I got really busy installing tons of great software that takes care of pretty much every software need I have. Not only was all of the software free, every piece of it was open source, which means that the code is peer-reviewed; no spyware here! What follows is a list of thirty pieces of software that are the cream of the crop of open source software for Windows. Not only is every piece of it free, almost all of them directly replace expensive software packages. Now, if only there were an open version of The Sims 2, I might go the whole way and switch to Linux… Thirty Free and Open Software Programs Worth Downloading 1.

AfterDawn.com Boy Genius Report Engadget Mother Lode TLS Weekender Convertible 2526 person(s) out of 2584 found this review helpful. "Having owned a variety of similar bags (Rick Steves Convertible Carry-On, Jansport Eurosak, and Ebags Weekender E-Tech Convertible), I can speak with some authority to the fact that this one is the best of the bunch. What sets this bag apart from the competition is that it incorporates all of the best features of each of the aforementioned bags - durable construction, portability via shoulder straps, carry handles, or (my favorite) backpack straps, an abundance of internal and external organizing pockets, interior tie down straps to secure the contents, exterior compression straps to relieve stress on the zippers and to move the center of gravity of the bag closer to the carriers back (when used in backpack mode, this relieves stress on the back), durable and smooth action YKK zippers, and an expansion zipper to allow for a little extra room in the main compartment. Did you find this review helpful?
