We began a new Linux Sig  year. My aim is to point the FOSS-Sig more towards free and open source Windows applications.

January I reviewed my personal top 20 Windows FOSS favorites listed below. We’ll also practiced using our own FOSS-Finder.

Firefox	Thunderbird	OpenOffice/ LibreOffice	Irfanview
PDF Creator	Audacity	CD Burner XP	Picture Resizer
Smart Defrag	XAMPP	Netmeter	NVU / Kompozer
Dropbox / Spider Oak	Ultra VNC	Unetbootin	Skype
Windows Essentials Codec Pack		Ultimate Boot CD for Windows
Linux Live USB Creator		IP2
