Actually they did a thing a year or two ago where you could download a serial from their website to run it without the nag screen like officially. It's perfectly easy to use it with the nag screen, I've been doing so for a long time xD
Just a thought. Differentiate between freeware and open source apps.
I prefer 7-zip to winrar anyway
You can add InfraRecorder to that list of decent CD/DVD tools - great for making your own ISO images which you can then burn with ImgBurn if InfraRecorder can't burn it, and it's open source too
Conquer Online-a great MMORPG where you can be either a taoist, a warrior, an archer, or a trojan. It's created with the ancient Chinese Kungfu and magic in mind, and in my opinion, a great play. There's something new for you to work on almost every new level-up, whether it be a new sword you can buy or the ability to mine. A game that can really keep you busy, and definitely worth a shot.
These things matter boatload with your liabilities and obligations. For normal use, not so much most of the time. However, if you say, edit a config file, and forward it on with out source, you can be considered in violation with GPL (especially 3, when that comes out ) It is good to know, just in case. It should be noted that people should read the licensing that comes with each product, as BSD, GPL, and most other open licensing is amendable.
Just remembered AppLocale, you can get it from Microsoft for free last time I checked, though whether that crappy Genuine Disadvantage crap is now in the way or not is another matter Useful for people like me that want to run programs or games on an English WinXP as if I'm running Japanese WinXP (or any other language you fancy)
