the windows version of xchat isn't free either

 

well, there's a gtk version of xchat for windows that's free (but it sucks)

 

[edit]oh, and here's a grammar checker for the latest Open Office. Yes, the extension requires java. Now there shouldn't be a reason to use M$ office (unless you like macros).

- Parted Magic: superior to GParted, and even more visually pleasing.

- XNview: widely superior to Irfanview in all aspects, and worth a recommendation over IV.

- PSPpad: advanced text editing for advanced users, and hex editor.

- Spyware Doctor Starter Edition: for realtime protection and cleanup. Available in the Google Pack. Version 6 seems to have used to be exclusively available from VNU.
