Windows Starter Kit

Posted by Seth Rosenblatt

So whichever gift-giving deity you believe in has smiled on you this season and you’re the recipient of a brand-new machine. Or maybe the computer gods have decided that December was the time for your PC to join that great server farm in the sky.

Either way, you’re in need of some new programs. Free programs. You’re in luck: CNET Download.com has compiled a brand-new Windows Starter Kit, complete with all that your freeware-coveting heart could ever desire. This year we bring you a Web Browser, an E-mail Client, Office and Productivity tools, Image Editors, Music and Video Jukeboxes, File Compression, a PDF Reader, Chatware, a Torrent Client, and seven must-have Utilities.

PC World - Six Easy Ways to Conquer Gmail
Six Easy Ways to Conquer Gmail
There’s much more to Google’s free e-mail service than an inbox. Here’s how to turn Gmail into a major productivity booster.

After a long courtship, I recently pledged my everlasting love for Gmail, forsaking all other e-mail systems (well, almost) in favor of Google’s free, Web-hosted service. But as in any relationship, my passion for Gmail is constrained by practical concerns. Though it possesses many excellent qualities, Gmail is far from perfect.

I have most of these (with the exception of the last one and I concur wholeheartedly!). This is a great list of stuff to have for improving your computing experience.

As a frequent downloads reviewer for PC World, I look at lots of downloadable software every year–more apps than I care to count. As a result, each week, I encounter and test-drive the great, the not-so-great, and the feeble.

Every once in a while, a piece of software so clearly outclasses its peers that it deserves special commendation. For this article, I’ve assembled my 15 favorite dowloads of 2007, selected from a wide range of categories–everything from antivirus and security tools to system tweakers, from media managers to system speedups.

Among them you’ll probably find some old favorites, but also plenty of unfamiliar apps that you’ll grow to love.
