The best software that I use

This is a list of the best software I have found. It is all free.

Mozilla Firefox - the best web browser due to its extensibility, add-ons. The fact that it is open source is comforting, this means that there are no hidden security vulnerabilities. Google Chrome is good, but at this point does not have the same community support as Firefox.

Xmarks (formerly Foxmarks) - same as Lastpass, except for sites that do not need logins and passwords.

Lastpass - this saves all your website logins and passwords, and keeps them stored in the "cloud" so you can use them in any of your browsers.

VLC Media Player - simpler and less annoying than Windows Media Player.

7-zip - for zipping and compression.

Drupal - used to set up a website. It is best web framework for technical people. For people that are less technical, use Joomla! or Wordpress.

nlite and offline update - to make customised unattended Windows installation discs.
