As suggested by Hypergeek in another thread ([url
[webmasterworld.com...]

Someone should start/post a list of open source/freeware programs

What's your favourite freeware? List name, description and why you like it.

Mine:

Mozilla
Browser
Because it's faster, simpler and easier to use than it's 'mother' Netscape Navigator

Irfanview (technically it's "postcardware").

One of the best image editors available. And I just found out recently it can use PhotoShop filters.
