Open Source software comes with a freedom that is unmatched by rest of the licenses. While most of the open source software is predominantly for Linux/Unix systems, some also have installers for Windows.
Lets take a look at some open source alternatives for the existing applications that are commonly used.
| Applications | Open Source alternatives |
| Photoshop | Gimp |
| MS Office | Open Office / Star Office |
| Corel Draw | Inkscape |
| Windows Media Player | VLC Player / Mplayer |
| Winamp | Audacious / Amarok |
| 3D Max | Blender |
| Dreamweaver | Bluefish / Screem |
| Internet Explorer | Opera / Mozilla Firefox |
| Windows Media Center | Elisa / Myth TV |
| Outlook Express | Evolution / Thunderbird |
| Adobe Acrobat Reader | Evince |
| Winzip / Winrar | Ark / Tar / Gzip |
and the list could just go on and on ...
So lets take a stand and use only the open source applications, unless offcourse there isn't one, which is a rarity !
