Daze of Our Lives 40+ awesome free Windows apps Depending on your internet connection you might be able to download a lot more (or a lot less) than 1Mb in two seconds - but calling this a post about apps under a meg just isn't quite as much fun! No, you don't really need to pay too much attention to an application's hard drive footprint any more. After all, when you can buy a 1.5Tb drive for less than $150US, what difference does a few megs here or there make? On the other hand, it's amazing to see what some developers are able to accomplish with a very small amount of code.

The application architects and the midnight-oil burning software developers who make open source software (OSS) work believe that the driving principles of open source software success are the FACTS: The creation of consumable parts is a side effect of using the right approach to build software. Raymond Augé, Senior Software Architect at Liferay Freedom Accessibility Collaboration Transparency Sharing Yet even companies that eat, sleep and breathe open source are still failing to really take advantage of all the benefits this model has to offer. #1 Reinventing the wheel It may sound counterintuitive, but it is possible for software developers to be too focused on the customer. #2 Clinging to monolithic design A lack of modularity is a serious problem for any firm that wants to become a better collaborator in the open source community.
