Windows 7 is an amazing operating system, and probably the best version that Microsoft has released in the past decade – it has everything from support for the latest features and technologies to a very nice interface that can easily compete with that of Mac OS X.

What makes an OS is not the core itself, but the third party apps available for it, and Windows certainly has everything anyone may need – there is a very large developer base creating apps for any purpose, thanks mostly to the fact that Windows is still the most used operating system in the world. No matter what you do on your computer, you can be sure there’s an app to help you do it better and faster. Here are just a few examples of apps that can help you a lot with your daily tasks:

Windows 7 is the best iteration of Windows yet, and thanks to the millions (yes, there are literally that many) of developers worldwide, there is a lot of great software around for almost every purpose. Being an OS that gets installed on home computers, as well as business machines, it’s a given that there should be apps to help you increase your productivity and go through your work faster and better. Here is just a short list of apps that will boost your productivity:

“Free” is a very popular word nowadays, with a lot of developers creating some pretty amazing software that they distribute for free, both on mobile and desktop operating systems. Of course, free in most cases means only “free to use”, because developers still make money by displaying ads or having a pro version that is paid and has a few great features absent from the free version.

Windows is no exception – in fact, it is the OS with the largest software database (which sadly isn’t available in a single location, but Google is your friend) and there are a lot of great applications that are completely free and can easily compete with other, paid products. Here’s just a short list I believe you should check out:

Readon TV Movie Radio Player is not something that has been around for years. This new and revolutionary software is something that will allow users to watch channels from across the globe; thousands of them! The great thing about this software is that it allows people to watch all of these channels without subscribing to extra TV packages, all from the comfort of their computer. In fact, people can even store the best audios to MP3 audio files so they can listen to them another time.

There was once a time when floppy drives were used every single day. Nowadays, computer users would be lucky if they even owned one.

FreeOCR is something that has only become popular over the last few months. This piece of software is something that is a free scan program, but also a free OCR program, hence the name! The great thing about this product is that it gives an extremely accurate scan of OCR PDF files.

ChromePlus is basically the next step up from the so popular Google Chrome. Since its launch, Google Chrome has been intensely popular. Of course, it was only a matter of time before Google brought out something new; ChromePlus. The features that have been incorporated into ChromePlus are extremely technologically advanced in comparison to what Chrome used to have. Features that have been incorporated include such things as Super drag, IE tab, and even Mouse gesture. Of course, like Chrome, ChromePlus can be used simply to surf the internet as well.
