Free Software Sites

The Internet is a blessing and a curse at the same time, speaking from many points of view. But now I am speaking only of the fact that you can find anything you want on the Internet. That is the nightmare of the software companies and has been so for many years. Because who would be that stupid to purchase some genuine software application when they can download it for free from the Internet or some network?



Sometimes the free software is offered by the producing company itself with the declared purpose of promoting the product and after that , after the free trial period, they will release the paid version. But, like I said, all the free software that you can find on the internet is usually offered for downloading by the users of that software themselves, that only try to do something "cool" and share, but they hardly think of the costs of that product and all the time and money and effort spent by the team to make that specific software work properly.

There are more different kinds of so-called free software/ There is the free trial, that is the liberty to use all the features of the software over a limited period of time, that there is the shareware with limited features and a limited amount of time to use it - so after all only the download is free - , the open source software and the freeware. Many people still argue about these definitions, but they do agree on the fact that free software should be totally free on the free software sites.

Not to mention the fact that most of the time you have no idea what you are looking for when you are visiting such an web site. So the reviews and ratings of those who already used the free software are very useful there. This is really helpful and clears your ideas about what the software really does.

www.completesoftware.com is such a web site offering free software, just as a protest against being lied to by those who labeled shareware as free ware. They offer really free software that is not limited by time, but which you can use for ever. www.thefreesite.com also offers a wide range of free software, this time in exchange of your signing up the web site's newsletter.

There is no such thing as a certain category of software to be offered free in a higher degree. Actually you can find all the software kinds and fields of activity present in the offer and you just need to visit the web sites and use some search engine usually already present in the web site in order to find exactly what you are looking for.

I told you there are a lot of such free software web sites, so here are some of them: www.freewarefiles.com, www.topdownloads.net, www.freebyte.com, www.softpedia.com (not only offers good qualityu free software, but also revies the software and presents the users' view and gives rates according to performance), www.tucows.com, www.brothersoft.com, www.download.cnet.com and many, many others.
