Can't deny PS 7 is high quality software but the price is definitely not justified. The Elements version is way enough for most users.

OpenOffice
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Quality office suite  qright

OpenOffice version 1.13
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

Openoffice is definitely a quality office suite. I really like the stripped down interface. However it lacks a mail management program like MS Outlook to be truly complete. Another problem is MS Office compatibility with complex files (Macros, graphics, etc...). If you do not exchange files with MS Office users, then Open Office is perfect. Nonetheless it's still a very decent Office Suite, ...RECCOMENDED !

avast! Home Edition
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Very good price/value  qright

avast! Home Edition version 4.5.523
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Avast Home Edition is not perfect but it gets the job done (as a matter of fact it does rival commercial antivirus programs). The inferface is fairly good, a bit too "Winampy" for my taste ...but what I really like about Avast is the custom function (remember: not all computer users have the same needs)...HIGHLY RECCOMENDED

Audacity
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Great audio editing software  qright

Audacity version 1.2.2
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I'm a music producer, and I was looking for a free but complete audio editing software to record and edit samples. Audacity's interface is very user-friendly and it doesn't take more than half an hour to familiarize one self with all the features/functions. Highly reccomended.
