If you are a lover of freebies, there has never been a better time to be a computer user than now. The internet is rife with free software. It has gotten to the point that you can build a PC today and never have to pay a dime for the software that runs it. If you wanted to go the entirely free route, you would need to use a Linux flavor as your operating system. Linux is open source and is a very viable computing environment. With the increasing popularity of Ubuntu, it has also gotten to a point where Linux is not even the brain frying experience it is famous for. However, Windows remains the operating system of choice for most PC users today (some would argue whether it really is a choice, but that's beside the point). Windows is, of course, not free. You can, however, install Windows to your computer and then put your PC to very good daily use without paying additional license fees for software.
