What better place to find the latest and greatest downloads for your PC than download.com? Cnet, which has long been a hub for techies, nerds, and computer users of all stripes, is perhaps the Internet’s most popular place to download PC applications. To make life a little easier for its users, Cnet ranks downloads in several ways: most popular, editor picks, and new releases, for instance. Users can also search by the kind of download they’re looking for, e.g., games, internet software, productivity software, and more. Here are two interesting downloads that have been popular among Cnet users.
1. TeamViewer
Most companies, even small companies, need to train their employees at one time or another. These companies not only must pay the person who is doing the training, but they also often end up paying the costs of transporting their employees to and from the training. Often, the employees undergoing training miss quite a bit of work time as a result. However, there is an easier way. TeamViewer is one application that allows a trainer to access a trainee’s desktop. For example, if new software is being demonstrated to a user, the trainer can watch the user in action by viewing the user’s desktop, and if necessary, show the user exactly what to do. This makes training much easier, since the trainer and trainee do not have to be in the same room or even in the same country.
2. FreeZ Online TV
Watching TV is not the first thing most people think of when using their PC, but it is becoming easier and easier to do. After downloading FreeZ Online TV, users can access a multitude of free online channels, making it easy to keep up on sports, news, entertainment, and more. With programs like this around, it’s easy to imagine a day when cable TV will be obsolete.
There are many such free software downloads available and not all are from Cnet. Open Office is a full word processing suite much like Microsoft Office, while GNU cash is an awesome financial and accounting suite like Quick Books. Freemind is a great mind mapping program useful for organizing data and thoughts These are just as good, if not better than the bought packages and best of all they are free.
