Use these lucky (cuz we did all the work) links from our collection on delicious to find some great low cost and free applications for your Windows® PC. Link Friday is a regular feature. Do you have another one to recommend? Add a comment and let us know.
1. UltraMon™ helps you manage multiple monitors. It makes it very easy to move an application to another window or across all windows (a must for applications with multiple pallets like Adobe® Photoshop®.
2. Wonder what’s taking up so much space on your computer? The free WinDirStat gives you a visual map (treemap) of your hard drive, making it easier to clean it up.
3. CutePDF is free and allows you to create (but not edit) PDF files.
4. Audacity® is a free open source recording and editing software for Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix.
5. OpenOffice.org is a free open source office suite for the PC (and Mac). It is a great alternative to Office 2007. It can read Microsoft Office formats.
You should also try SSuite Office for a free office suite. Their software also don’t need to run on Java or .NET, like so many open source office suites, so it makes their software very small and efficient.

Thanks Andy. I’m always on the look out for alternatives to Microsoft Office.
