Software is expensive. People have learned to steal movies and music and pretty much get whatever they want. But, for us regular people it sounds like rocket science. 

There are several websites who cater to those who like free software. Download.CNET.comis a great place that has literally thousands of programs and apps to offer people at reasonable prices, or free. Put the words “free programs” in the search bar. 

Some people already know what they want even before they get there. Others go and lazily shop, looking at everything that catches the eye before deciding to download. This takes a lot of time but makes for an informed choice of downloads.Shop Sitting Down, Then Play With the new Toy

The website will determine if the user has a pc or mac and show only programs that workon each. On the front page there’s two categories to see; the Latest Software Reviews and the Recently Added Programs. Each program’s page has user ratings, lists the price and offers a brief description of what it does. 

On the low half of the page is “The Daily Download,” and it’s the site’s blog. Lots of information and stuff that’s nice to know about some of the programs. On the right side is a long sidebar listing the most popular downloads so far, and it’s no surprise that AVG’s free edition of Anti-Virus is at the top. 

The user needs to scan programs to make sure they’re downloading nothing harmful, but it’s all good stuff. 

Take a look; it’s shopping, but if the free programs are searched out, there’s tons of fun and value in there.
