The 70 coolest free applications in existence


At the end of August I created a list of the 40 coolest free applications around which proved quite popular. As with all lists of this type the wisdom of the crowds brought forward numerous other suggestions that I'd overlooked for one reason or another - so here is the revised list.

As with the original list, the purpose is to collate some of the best free applications (and sometimes online services) that can be found on the Internet. I spend a lot of time on the Internet (through my work as a web developer) so it's always worth pooling a decent list of resources to those who are more fortunate to have time away from computers. See below for a brief list of what's covered:

Image, Image Editing and Graphics 


Office 


Web and web development 


Development Applications (IDE's) 


Operating Systems 


Video Playback 


Audio 


Anti-Virus and Security 


Downloading and Download Managers 


Remote Access
