Well, comparing to Photoshop the main thing i miss are layers... But i use this as a fast and FREE alternative to paint, so it does the job very well. Doesn't use more then 5 MB of ram here.

Paint.NET
  • Freeware
  • WinXP/Vista

qleft  Better then MS Paint, not good as photoshop  qright

Paint.NET version 3.08
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

I would recommend this app of you need something less then Photoshop but more then Paint. Like simple layer or crop/resizing photos. Or even needs just more than 10 undo's... It's much lighter then PS, uses less then 55 MB of ram, and has a good variety of features.

Free Download Manager version 2.5
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 4

Works nice, you can have multiple downloads, multiple sections of the same mirror, multiple mirrors. Different default folders for each file type and/or project you create. But you might need some time to get used, it is not that simple if you're a total newbie.

TUGZip
  • Freeware

Yep, it doesn't open RAR files with password protection, it doesn't prompt to enter pass, just open as if it was empty. Also you can't leave a program open through a zip, and close the zip, it does crash.

Does what it needs! Crop, paste copy parts of audio files. Can have a GOOD zoom and its VERY easy to use. Just remember that you'll need to download lame_enc.dll file in order to export MP3.

MacroMaker
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Not that all...  qright

MacroMaker version 2.0.0.4
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 3

Its a good program, but not the best. As a freeware i would say Fair. I didn't find much easy to add IF and ELSE functions on my macros! There is no option to add a Pause/Stop button after a macro started! If the option exist, then its not easy to find.

Danger! Do not download this, Internet Explorer is the worst browser i have ever seen! There are more then 10 bugs known every moth. If you get in to a bad site, you may get Spywares, Virus and other things like this. So the browser gives the opportunity to virus to invade your computer. I say IE is a kind of TROJAN! Once you use, you are enable to get virus and spyware just by browsing pages!
