Windows Software (2014)
Here’s a regularly updated list of recommended Windows software.
Browser:
Firefox > Chromium > Chrome »> Internet Explorer
Office Suite:
Libre Office > Microsoft Office == Kingsoft Office
They’re all pretty bad though. Consider switching to LaTeX.
Email Client:
They’re all shit. Just use gmail or something that actually works.
Mailpile might not be shit, but it’s still in alpha.
PDF Reader:
pdf.js == SumatraPDF »> Adobe Reader
Adobe Reader is nice if you like trojans and malicious scripts in your PDFs.
Music Player:
foobar2000 > AIMP3 »> WMP
Video Player:
Use KCP instead of CCCP if your computer isn’t trash and you like to watch anime.
Torrent Client:
Deluge > qBittorrent »> uTorrent
A new torrent client undergoing heavy development right now is gTorrent.
It’s shit right now, but there’s a small chance that it might stop being shit in the future.
