While I don’t agree with all the choices, it is a very useful tool / website when looking for new free, safe, open-source and well-working software. The site has a comprehensive list of categories to cover most of the software requirement for windows.

Are these open source softwares?

These are free softwares but as far as I know, their source code is not available. So these don't qualify as open source software.

If these softwares are to be added to the list, then please change the name of the thread to Free Alternative Applications.

Add Kompozer(http://kompozer.net) to the list. It is an alternative to Dreamweaver.

It is a WYSIWYG editor for creating web pages.

Though they aren't open source they are a free alternative. This thread lists open source and/or free applications.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

BTW I can't add any software to the 1st post and cant edit the title too.
