Free Downloads

Free downloads of software are becoming more widely available all the time. Software4free.org provides you with comparisons and links to the most popular free downloads available in a number of categories: see the links in the left menu. A big new player in the free software market is Google: it offers free downloads of a whole range of software for Mac, Windows and Linux from its site. Unlike some freeware (see below), Google's free downloads are likely to remain in the free software category; a paid "premium" version is available for a number of its products; for example Google Earth and Sketchup.
Google's Photo software Picasa is a very popular free download.

Be aware that some freeware is given away specifically to build a user base; once this freeware is fully developed it becomes paid software. The free software you downloaded becomes dated over time and because you enjoy using it, you don't mind paying for the up-to-date commercial version. A smart alternative to the "shareware" concept - and everybody wins.

If you are looking for software that will always stay free, look for "open source" type licenses. This software is written by a developer community who give their time freely. Examples of Open Source projects are the Linux Operating system, OpenOffice and Firefox (competing mainly with Microsoft's Windows, Office and Explorer).
