Software List on Windows (not complete yet)

These are the windows software I installed on my Acer. Since I dated with an open source contributor, I only use freeware or open source software. At first, it feel weird, but now sometimes freeware and open source software a lot better than the proprietary one.

This list not complete yet, i'll update it later

1. Softwares for enjoying the Internet:

• Browser : 3 From Mozilla ( Firefox, Flock and Sea Monkey), Opera Browser and Internet Explorer. Why I need many browsers? Because I have more than 1 account Gmail to open, and I’m too lazy to sign out and sign in everytime I want to read emails. IE is almost never used, and since there’s extension of Firefox to render some pages using IE on Firefox, maybe I’ll never use it anymore J
• Download manager : Free Download Manager, once I used Getright, but since I found FDM say goodbye to Getright. With this software I can split my download file and if the connection getting slow or I want to turn of my computer, I could stop the process and continue later (but some server cannot be continue).
• Instant Messaging : Gaim. I was a chatter, once I installed ICQ, YM and MSN on my old pc, and now with Gaim I can login with a single application. But those days are over, now I only use Gaim for YM only.
• Voice Over IP : Barablu, Skype, Voip Buster. I still don’t decide which one the best, just try it last week, unfortunately my internet speed not very reliable. Sometimes it good, manytimes not good :(
• FTP Clients: Putty

2. Sofwares for Office Productivity

• Text Editor: Emacs beside Notepad, Emacs support highlighting syntax.
• Read PDF : Adobe Acrobat Reader, FoxItReader
• Make PDF Documents : PDFWriter
• Blogging : W.bloggar

3. Software for Entertainment / Multimedia

• Video : VLC beside Windows Media Player
• Music : iTunes, I don’t have ipod yet, but I just prepare to have it anytime soon :) (maybe you want to give me an ipod? :) )
  
• Picasa : To organize my photos
  

4. Antivirus : Avast Home Edition, always updated if I connected to Internet

Avast and W.bloggar already told, the rest will come as soon as possible.
