Nothing is free?

Is it true that nothing is free? Well, the researches that i made tells me that not everything is not free, we just need to know where to find them. Today, i present the Best Free Finance and Office Software as published by PC MAG.


Finance

mint
www.mint.com
Web

Mint isn't like Quicken, where you enter in all your transactions. Instead, it syncs with your bank and credit card accounts online, checks your spending habits, and tells you how to improve to save money. If you're not paying attention to your spending, it'll send you regular alerts to inform you where your money has gone (nice for making sure you haven't been ripped off).

GnuCash
www.gnucash.org
Linux

Linux users can track their bank accounts, stocks, and expenses in this financial program using a double-entry accounting method.

Office


AbiWord
www.abiword.com
Windows | MacOS | Linux

Volunteers keep this open-source word processor alive. It closely mimics the look and feel of Microsoft Word 2003 and earlier.


Gliffy
www.gliffy.com
Web | Flash

An online-only diagramming tool with more options than you can flowchart. The free version is limited to five diagrams.


Google Docs
docs.google.com
Web | Mobile

Google's slickly designed office suite offers online shared word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations-and best of all, finally a solid alternative in the office-suite space to the totally dominating Microsoft. Upload or e-mail your current documents for storage and editing.


IBM Lotus Symphony
symphony.lotus.com
Web | Mobile

A much prettier version of OpenOffice.org, Symphony is prepped for presentations, spreadsheets, and word processing in a single window (but lacks OO's drawing and database modules).


KompoZer
www.kompozer.net
Windows | MacOS | Linux

A full WYSIWYG Web-page authoring tool akin to Dreamweaver, KompoZer integrates an FTP site manager for file uploads.


NeoOffice
www.neooffice.com
MacOS

This version of OpenOffice.org has the same great tools and price (free), but with an interface designed specifically for the Mac OS.


Notepad++
notepad-plus.sourceforge.net
Windows

Notepad++ handles text--especially source code-in ways the basic Windows Notepad could only dream of, with embellishments like tabs and color coding.


Scribus
www.scribus.net
Windows | MacOS | Linux

This open-source page layout tool has features comparable to big names like PAgemaker, plus support for PDFs and scalable vector graphics (SVG).


Windows Live Mail
get.live.com
Windows

Live Mail not only reads your Hotmail, but also can check POP, IMAP, or HTTP mail accounts. It works as an RSS feed reader and a newsreader.


Zoho
www.zoho.com
Web | Mobile

Zoho features every tool you could want-word processing, spreadsheet, presentations, database, even a wiki-and several you never knew you needed. Some are also available off-line.
