46 Most Popular FREE Desktop Software Applications, Webapps, and Projects - BY LifeHacker

List Series (6)

Here’s another occasion for us to spread the word -with solid arguments - about the state of “the free” on the web .

We see LifeHacker.com - one of our Favs - not only as a top weblog, but mainly as one of the leaders in supporting and giving the the earned importance to Open Source softwares , projects or philosophy . Due to its popularity we take all LifeHacker surveys for granted .

This one - bringing a few thousands answers to “ what free software you’re most thankful for ? ” - is another confirmation , with no major surprise ,  of the consacration ( and the usefulness ) of these already “big names” among the free products .

We take this opportunity to express our gratitude too - like LifeHacker did on the Thanksgiving Day ocassion - to “ALL developers of ALL the free software … in gratitude for all the things your work enables us to do every day “

So here’s another “guide list” about the must-have free computer/internet products. Check it out and make sure that you’re using ALL of them ! ( otherwise you’ll never know what you’re missing )
