The Red Brick Times

Free alternatives to expensive programs suggested by PC World. See the article titled Keep it Simple. For example, instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer, try Mozilla Firefox. The features are good enough that Microsoft is including some (like tabbed browsing) in the Windows Vista operating system that is supposed to replace Windows XP. Instead of Outlook, try Mozilla Thunderbird. Instead of Microsoft Office, try OpenOffice. Instead of Windows Media Player, try The Quintessential Player.

I use Firefox and Thunderbird, but have to go back to Internet Explorer when I update Windows XP (they are programmed to work together better). Since I already have the Microsoft Office suite, I will keep using it, but you can save the $$ and get the functionality from OpenOffice.
