With the explosive growth of linux, a lot of the software originally written for linux is now being ported to Windows. Thats the greatest thing about open source software - choices. Many of you probably use software, originally designed for Linux...such as firefox (based on Linux Mozilla), a lot of internet chat programs, openoffice (based on Linux StarOffice), etc. Anyways, I found this web site....which is a downloaded cd full of excellend free software for Windows and Mac users. Don't have the money to buy photoshop, yet don't want to run linux....try gimp. Don't want to buy adobe illustrator, try inkscape. Don't want to buy dreamweaver or frontpage, try nvu. Lots of software I am sure you will enjoy.
