The most essential software around
Although there is lot’s of other wares around I picket out the once I like the most. There is only one program in each category, and hopefully it covers your needs for that particular type of software. You might also take notice of, that most of the software is freeware, there is in some categories better commercial software around, but when free software closely matches -the choice is easy. To ensure that you’ll always get the updates versions, most of the links lead to the producer download pages, instead of direct links.
