Open Source Freebees
Many open source appplications have exceeded the quality of commercial applications (.ie. Firefox browser). The web developmnent community once weary of bugs and unstable versions is now
embracing open source applications and using them as is or with their own tweaks. Nowdays, you can develop an entire site, add a databse, a content manager, shopping cart and even more functionality using solely open source applications. Take a look at the Linux open source products. You'll find that many of them have been released on Windows version. You'll find powerful graphics applications (i.e. The Gimp), desktop publishers (i.e. Scribus), databases and more. Search this site or the web for more information on open source applications.
