Typically new computers ship with a very basic suite of pre-installed software. While this includes fundamental programs such as email and an internet browser, it unfortunately does not include a fully-functional word processor, presentation application, spreadsheet, and other oft-used apps. Before rushing out to buy expensive software, check out these handy freeware websites.

Google Docs

The internet search giant Google offers a totally free, web-based suite of office software called Docs. Gmail users can click the Documents link at the top left of the interface to go to the Docs home page. From there, simply click New to create a new word processing, spreadsheet, form, or presentation project. Users can’t write a book using these applications, but it’s definitely functional enough for daily personal and small business use.

In addition to Docs, Google also offers a downloadable package of free software for Mac or PC called Pack. It’s a suite of fun and handy no-cost apps hand-picked by the search behemoth that includes web browsers, Adobe PDF reader, RealPlayer, spyware detectors, free chat and VOIP phone services, productivity applications, toolbars, and the company’s mesmerizing Earth. Requires Windows XP/Vista 7 or Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard.
