I remember the old days when I was fully into Windows. At that time, installing software was quite a difficult task. Finding the correct version online and then installing it, unsure of whether it carried any adware, was a potential risk I used to take a lot, and paid the price for in terms of broken down systems. Another problem was the trial versions of software that would expire, like medicines, after a certain period of time. Once I migrated to Linux, these are issues I've never come across again.

There's so much free software available for Linux that you may get confused about which one is better. The added advantage is that most of these free software are available for the Windows platform as well. Here we are going to talk about three of the most entertaining free and open source software for Windows. Using these open source software will also build confidence in you to make the choice of migrating to Linux-something I did a while back. (Now, I use Ubuntu!) I am a big music and movies fanatic. I can't live without the two. So, a good movie player, an efficient music player and a really powerful media converter are some of the things that I need the most. We will start with the Songbird.
