One of the biggest advantages of the free software – and any commercial program rarely has it – is the large community of users who are willing to assist you in implementing the program through various forums, blogs, etc.

The quality of free software is very high today – its quality and the number of available free software will surely continue to grow in the future. Fortunately, today there are free alternatives to almost all the software that you are planning to use – even to the professional applications, such as CAD (Computer-aided design), ERP (Enterprise resource planning), OS (Operating system).įree software are available most often via internet, and it is a pity not to use them just because you are used to some commercial software that you have at work, or the shareware version that you might have installed. The total costs for all these software are often higher than the price of the computer.

To make the computer functioning as you want it to, you will have to install a large number of software, such as: Multimedia software (graphics, audio, video.), Utility software, Security software, Office software (word processor, spreadsheet.), Internet software, Programs from the field of your work, etc. When buying a new computer today, you will either get an empty computer or a computer that has only the operating system on it.
