Free as in beer, not free as in freedom - though some of it is both. I didn't put trialware there, or things that require you to pay to get certain features, which is why Raptor Audio and a few other things aren't there. You can use Ninite.com to install a lot of it automatically, without any toolbars and shit like that. I didn't include things like Blender and Sketchup, as they are, in my opinion, very niche. If you need such software, I'd assume you would already know about it. I also didn't include Chrome, Steam and other popular software, as I'm lazy and I assume you already know about it.
