Preferably, the program has had an update in the last year or two, and the program should have little or no advertising to support it. More requirements for inclusion here: If the software is on a tiered sales model, the free version cannot be trial-ware it must offer at least a free-for-life option. But we've included web-based apps that are as good as-or even better than-most downloadable programs. It should (typically) have a Windows-based download-we're not including browser extensions, because we're not all using the same browser.
To be included in this roundup, software must be available directly from the developer/creator/original publisher. To keep things free, software developers can adopt an ad-based model, create donation-ware, or use a shareware/freemium model that charges for extra features. You can find a great variety of free audio and video editors, office suites, file utilities, organizers, photo converters, and more. Software can be expensive, but free programs have been a mainstay of the desktop experience for decades, and today's offerings are powerful. And to get the most out of it, you need software. Real computing work (and a lot of the play) requires a full personal computing system. It's a mobile world, but we have not fully abandoned the desktop PC.
