Just about everyday or at least several times a week I try out a new peice of software and if at all possible I try to make my choice something that FOSS - Free and Open Source Software. I will try to keep a list here of some of the best programs I encounter that have a price tag of $0.00 and more often then not are open source. Most of these programs have a windows variant or are written for use primarily on windows stations. Closed source freeware is marked with an *.
