It's no secret that we at AskDaveTaylor are a bit biased towards Apple products and the Macintosh, though we have a variety of PC gear too, running Windows Vista (yup, really), Windows 7 and even preview releases of Windows 8. There's a lot to like about Windows 7 in particular -- not quite as enamored of Win8 as of yet -- if you're coming from the Mac world, including a rich and impressive developer ecosystem that's produced a wealth of great applications, utilities and freeware programs from both big corporations and developers working out of dorm rooms, basements and apartments throughout the world.
Problem is, since we don't use the PC on a daily basis, we're not as familiar with the best of class freeware apps out there, so when a query came in about the best and most popular freeware applications for Microsoft Windows, well, we were a bit stumped.
