Download.com freeware staff picks

by Jordan Running on February 2, 2006 at 03:40 PM

There are a lot of best-free-software lists out there, but probably nobody's hands pass over more freeware than the folks at Download.com, so I thought their staff-picked Best Free Software collection from a couple weeks back was worth noting. They split the free apps up into ten categories--Audio & Video, Business, Developer, etc--and their picks are very solid. The obvious is there, of course, but so are a few surprising picks. I especially recommend the Desktop Enhancements section that has quite a few gems like this brilliant Holding Pattern screensaver pictured at right.
