Re: The Freeware Thread v2.0 (Updated: 3/16/2008)

Great job guys

Some thoughts on stuff for inclusion, but I don't know what category it would fit into... Virtualization is currently a hot topic and there are many freely available products like VMware Server, VMware Player, MS VirtualPC, VirtualBox, Parallels, QEMU, Xen etc

^^ There's probably enough there for it's own category

...I'll leave you to google the links, and feel free to delete/tidy up when you're done

Darn, I completly forgot about those

We decieded on using fewer, more general categories in hopes this woul be easier to update than the old one, but I'm not sure where virtualization can go in the existing categories.

I suppose it would loosley fit in "Productivity" as a sub-category....
