** Open Office similar to Microsoft Office© (some consider better)
After using Nero and it messed up my system's ability to burn DVDs and CDs.
I tried about 5 diferent tools ImgBurn was the best. It has a lot of features and it was totaly free.
Just be careful not to download this program from links that do not
originate from the developer's site as this program has been the target of trojans.
NVU **Web site development tool (Think Frontpage but better)
Winzip **Opens or creates those compressed files

Note: some claim the free version has ad ware so install Ad-Aware first (but
it definitely beats the bugs in AOL-IM)
