Firefox - Best alternative web browser.
Our review says the Firefox web browser is a viable alternative to Internet Explorer 7, praising its usability, lean size, lack of ActiveX security holes, and convenient features, including tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, an RSS reader, a download manager, a password manager, automatic updates, customized searching and a tweakable interface (themes). A vast number of extensions -- which add functionalities like better eBay searches and form filling -- are also available. Firefox runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. A few web pages still don't display properly in Firefox, so we do say you'll still have to occasionally revert to Internet Explorer. Firefox 2.0 is currently in Beta testing, but you can still download it, or version 1.5, which is not substantially different.

Internet Explorer - Most stable and developer-supported browser
The newest overhaul of Internet Explorer is fast, slick, and vastly more secure than IE Version 6. Borrowing from its competitors Firefox and Opera, IE7 introduces Explorer users to tabbed browsing, enhanced security management (including ActiveX opt-out), RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, integrated search capabilities, a one click Favorites button, and web pages that can be automatically re-sized for printing. IE7 can remember open tabs for your next session. Although it lacks the customizable interface available in Firefox and Opera, IE7 more than makes up for this with near-universal compatibility and enormous development base. Internet Explorer 7 is still technically in Beta testing, but anyone can download it (Windows XP only).

Opera -Best cross-platform browser.
Opera 9 can run on Windows, Linux, Solaris, BSD and Mac OS X, and its security features do not depend on Windows XP SP2. In fact, Opera runs on more operating systems than any other browser. A mobile version even runs on many cell phones and some PDAs. Despite its small following, Opera 9 has most of the features of Firefox, plus a few more. It has fewer problems displaying web pages than either IE7 or Firefox. The latest version (released in June 2006) includes widgets, or small web applications that sit on users' desktops, and support for BitTorrent, a popular file distribution technology. Former versions of Opera cost $39, but the latest ad-free Opera 9 is entirely free.

Safari - Best web browser for Mac OS X also available for Windows Now!
Apple, which ships and seamlessly integrates its Safari browser into Mac OS X, takes the best features from other browsers, including tabbed browsing, live bookmarks, RSS feeds (with added clipping service), pop-up blocking, and a built-in integrated search, combining them in an intuitive desktop interface. Reviews say Safari has a simple browsing interface that offers more security, via the Mac operating system, than its competitors. Although Mac users can choose FireFox or Opera as well, critics say the Safari browser is excellent in its own right.

Open Office.org - by Sun Microsystems
Open Office.org is by far the best alternative to Microsoft's Juggernaut, MS Office. Open Office supports almost all of the file types Microsoft Office does and does a fantastic job of copying the feel of MS Office and its excellent functionality. Open Office includes a word processor (aka word), a presentation creator (aka powerpoint), and spreadsheet program (aka excel) and other programs. Best of all, Open Office is free and very reliable. Think Geeks highly recommends Open Office to those unwilling to pay the somewhat steep price Microsoft puts on their Office suite.

CCleaner - by Piriform
CCleaner is a clean up utility. Kind of like Disk Cleanup for Windows but much more powerful. CCleaner deletes unused/temperorary files like any other clean up utility, but we here at Think Geek love CCleaner most because it has a registry clean up function too. It cleans up your registry by deleting any unused registry entries such as file extensions used by programs that you no longer have installed on your computer. It's a fantastic, light weight, and intuitive program that has a great tendency to free up a nice chunk of hard drive space!
