Office Anyone who has used it will know that Adobe’s PDF Reader is a slow, clunky and bulky piece of software that takes ages to load and hogs your memory. Why put up with that horrible, bloated program when Foxit Reader offers a faster, lighter tool that comes with tons of plugins and can integrate with lots of other applications, including OpenOffice. Even if you don’t want to try any other tool in this list, please do install this one. I’m convinced its ease of use will eventually lead to world peace. Download it now! (3.57 MB) OpenOffice.org 3.1.0 OpenOffice.org offers a great suite of word processor, spreadsheet and slideshow tools that have copied almost every feature from Microsoft Office. It’s unfair, yes, but it’s out there and available for free! All right, so the Microsoft Word 2007’s ribbon is a great feature that makes everything a lot easier to use. If you can afford to spend on the software, it is totally worth it. But if not, OpenOffice is definitely the way to go. Download it now!

It works with a simple hotkey or with mouse gestures, and will pop up immediately when you look up a reference for it is always running in your system tray. Along with the meaning, it’ll give you antonyms, synonyms, phrases, and related words. And hey, it supports a British dictionary for those who believe colour is spelt with a ‘u’. Simply brilliant!

I thought the same and resisted the lure of Free Commander for the longest time. I said that Windows Explorer was more than enough to suit all my needs. Then I finally gave in to a friend’s constant taunts and tried out Free Commander. Really, I can’t go back to Windows Explorer, I just can’t. It’s like going from a Mercedes to a Maruti 800.

It’s lighter, it has a streamlined interface and it gets the job done faster. The only flaw, as such, is that it can’t burn VCDs. But when was the last time you tried to do that anyway?

Sure, Microsoft was kind enough to throw in that ‘Search’ function, but it is just so agonisingly slow! Now I just have Everything running all the time in my system tray (it just takes 4MB of memory), hit Alt+E and type the first few letters of the file I want – and there it is, right in the Everything pane! Download it now! (334 KB) Launchy 2.1.2 I shudder when I recall how I used to compute before Launchy graced my PC. Just hit Alt+Space, type in the first few letters of whichever program you want to run, and hit enter – Launchy will do the rest! And the numerous plugins just make it incredibly handy. You can do Web searches on Google, IMDB, Yahoo, Wikipedia, etc; perform basic calculations; compose emails; sync up Google Calendar dates; and even integrate Everything if you so desire. By far one of the most useful tools to ever be developed. Download it now!

A lot of my friends who use OSX are quite jealous of the fact that there is nothing on the Mac platform that compares to this powerful, yet lightweight and fast tool. The amount of options it offers is staggering, and the awe only increases the more you read about its available plug-ins… Download it now! (1.3 MB) WinCDEmu 2.3 Let’s face it, I might be able to deter a lot of my friends from using pirated software by using freeware, but no way are they going to stop such practices when it comes to video games. Mounting ISOs is an integral part of video game piracy, but the process of mounting a game and unmounting it through applications like Daemon Tools and Alcohol is tedious and time-consuming. Enter WinCDEmu: Just double-click the ISO and it’s mounted! Right-click and eject from you’re My Computer pane and it’s gone. Virtualisation was never easier… Download it now!
