Nine must-have freeware apps rise to the top

I’ve linked to various Windows Secrets newsletter items in the past. It is an excellent newsletter and I highly recommend it. The issue I received today has a link to nine freeware apps that have been regularly centred out/chosen in “best of” lists.

The “best freeware” lists published by Web sites and magazines frequently trumpet dozens of programs, but the results reflect the subjective opinions of just one or two testers.

To find the best of the best, I compared roundups of “great” freeware conducted recently by four reputable publications to find the programs that were endorsed by at least three of the reviews.

Out of the lists he looked at, only 9 programs were on 3 of the lists, and only 1 was on all 4. It’s a good read with links to each of the 9 programs.
