The Simple Dollar » 30 Essential Pieces Of Free (and Open) Software for Windows
This is from the perspective of a person setting up a machine from scratch and shows the possibilities of OSS. Good descriptions, covers the obvious and the not-so-obvious, provides URLs, and indicates clearly what closed source software each package can replace. A great list for someone setting up a new machine or updating one.
This list can save you some serious cash, but I would use some other BitTorrent client and Sunbird is nice but doesn’t really replace the calendaring functions in Outlook. Google calendar is nice for that if they’d just build in more device sync options.
Any one else have some favorites??

I found your post very interesting. I used your post as a helping hand for my written assignment on internet marketing for my college.
