12 Great Open-source apps for Windows.
I was looking at my desktop and noticed that I had twelve little open source apps I absolutely enjoy using. I post them hear for all to see in no particular order.
- Mozilla Firefox - The Web browser in which I am posting now. Handles valid W3C websites better than any other.
- Mozilla Thunderbird - A good e-mail client for a casual e-mailer such as myself.
- Songbird - Currently in alpha stage. This is one seriously awesome media player.
- VLC - This is considered the best media player by many and features the support of many codecs.
- Democracy - A media player very heavily integrated with internet video. Supports virtually every codec.
- Notepad++ - A solid an well designed text editor.
- Aptana - Currently in beta stage. Despite being unfinished, this IDE is an excellent choice to help you develop the web.
- GIMP - Despite it’s steep learning curve, this graphics editor is easily better than photoshop.
- GAIM - Use several different IM protocols including MSN, Google Talk, AIM, and more with this swiss army client.
- Filezilla - Easily the best FTP client available for Windows.
