Legal free software
Why wouldn’t we have all of the software legal? The is a lot of free replacements for the expensive licensed software, without which we feel kinda lost.. Below is a list of the free replacements for commercial products.
OpenOffice.org replacement for Microsoft Office
From the web page http://www.openoffice.org/ you can free of charge change:
Microsoft Word to OpenOffice.org Write
Microsoft Excel to OpenOffice.org Calc
Microsoft PowerPoint to OpenOffice.org Impress
etc
Mozzila Thunderbird replacement for Microsoft Outlook
For your e-mail you can free of charge use Mozilla Thunderbird http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/. I also recommend the add-on Mozilla Lightning which adds a calendar to your Thunderbird for easier organisation.
Mozzila FireFox replacement for Microsoft Internet Explorer
Bigger safety, free software, 2 reasons, because of which mosz of Slovenian Internet users use Firefox intead of IE. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Avast! Antivirus replacement for commercial antivirus software (NOD32, Norton Antivirus,…)
Free antivirus, which will legally protect your computer of viruses. You are only required to perform a free registration, after which you gain a free one-year lasting activation code. After one year you get it again. http://www.avast.com
This was a short summary of all the major options you have. You’ll just need some time to acommodate. Stay tuned… there is much more of the free software.
