Hi all. It is common that people associate the open source Linux, but there are large numbers of robust applications, developed and maintained by a community of open source operating system for Windows.
In IslaBit we share some of the most important:
1. VLC : One of the most flexible media players available today. Supports a large number of audio and video formats including H.264, Ogg, DivX, TS, MPEG-2, MP3, MPEG-4 and AAC. But not limited to viewing multimedia files, but also can convert and encode formats.
2. Gnumeric : Spreadsheet of the GNOME Office suite. It has been extended for a long time and is now in a strong position in the world of spreadsheets. 520 currently has gnumeric functions, of which 154 are unique, one of the fastest spreadsheets of existing today. Gnumeric can read many formats of spreadsheets, but you're a clone of Excel, this is not indicated.
3. Abiword : Also part of GNOME Office suite, and can serve all your word processing needs. With Abiword can create and edit text documents (whether Microsoft Office and OpenOffice), but also is fast, reliable and, as all applications of this list is completely free.
4. Audacity : A tool for recording and editing audio. You can use it to record live audio, convert analog to digital recording, cut, copy, add, change the speed and import / export in different formats. You can also delete and add noise effects.
5. Inkscape : It is a powerful vector graphics editor similar to Illustrator, Core Draw and Xara X. It adheres closely to the W3C standard file formats SVG, so you can be sure that any file created or edited with Inkscape SVG through, will work with any other compatible tool. One of the most important aspects of Inkscape is the availability of numerous tutorials found on their official website and other websites.
6. X-Chat 2 : One of the best IRC clients exist. Although many of the old IRC users have switched to using other instant messaging tools such as Messenger or GTalk, yet many consultants and IT managers continue as a valuable resource IRC network.
7. TurboCASH : A personal finance manager for Windows. He has been in constant development and maintenance for many years, so you have a good solid base and a large following, as many as over 100,000 companies in over 80 countries.
8. Amaya Web Browser : This is a web browser that aims to land on the planet as the W3C standard or simply as a different browser. It is not only an Internet browser, Amaya is also a Web editor, it may seem hard to believe, has been in operation since 1996 and is directly organized by the W3C.
9. ClamWin : Antivirus for Windows based on the venerable ClamAV for Linux. ClamWin offers all the standard features you may be used in an anti-malware tool and the integration of Outlook and Explorer. The only difference between ClamWin and competition is not using a real time scanner that is free. You also have to manually search if a file is infected, so it is not an antivirus lazy.
10. 7-Zip : Another great open source project able to compress and decompress all types of files, including ZIP, RAR, ACE, ARJ, also is fast, reliable and very intuitive. If you want a stock solution for compression and decompression of files, no doubt 7-Zip is the right tool.
