Click more on google or your regional google page to find loads of software even the pay-for software has unlimited duration trial versions that only have less features.
NOTE:I don't know why, but different software shows up depending on whether your logged in to a google account or not and what browser/OS you use.
Internet
Opera
A really god and fast web browser
Firefox
One of the best web browsers and it's free! Highly customisable
Thunderbird
Great Email program from Mozilla.
Trillian
The best multi-platform IM program about.
Pidgin
Open-source multi-platform IM program that is fully free (all features available for free, unlike trillian)
µTorrent
Probably one of the best Bit Torrent clients out for any OS. Windows only sadly, but works on WINE.
Security
AVG anti-virus & Avira AntiVir & avast! & Drive Sentry
free anti-virus software programs
Spybot search and destroy
free anti-spyware program
ZoneAlarm
Free Firewall
HijackThis
Scans your computer without bias. Not a cleaner like Ad-Aware, but rather it shows you what your PC has, and you can manually clean, which helps with some of the nastier ad-ware and even viruses (granted you actually get those)
Multimedia
Picasa
Good image catologing program
Audacity
Sound editing program
FastStone
A great free photo viewer / lightweight editor.
Paint.NET
An image and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Server 2003. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools.
Open Canvas
the GIMP
Photoshop, but free. Takes a bit of getting used to but very powerful once you learn it.
GIMP for Windows
An open source graphics editing program
TuxPaint
100% Free...works on pretty much every OS. Lots of fun for kids of all ages! Lots of really 'cool' effects!
Blender
Open Source 3D-Modeling/Graphics program.
ImageWalker
Allows you to manage your image files visually
Text & Documents
OpenOffice.org
Free office suite.
Notepad ++
A good text editor
Gvim
the text editor where you will have a huge partywith all your friends once you finally fully understood it
jEdit
IDEs suck; jEdit doesn't.
iTunes and Winamp
Two really good Media Players. Get iTunes on Mac or Winamp on Windows.
The VLC media player [Plays DVDs]
Another media player. Handles many video formats
Utilities
7-zip
A good compression/decompression program
JustZipIt
Another compression/decompression program. Simple than 7-zip but much less features.
Google Desktop
Desktop Search program with Vista-esque Sidebar.
ObjectDock
Program launcher (the "Try it" link directs you to a free version, the price is for the Pro version).
Irfanview
Easy resizing tool.
Fsscreen
Easy screen capture tool, this enables you to not have to minimize your games to save the pic you captured... It saves every image you capture to a folder you specify, which you can edit later on.
ScreenPrint 32 - Replacement for PrtScrn
Allows capture to clipboard, as well as printer and/or file.
ShellExtension
A Handy program that adds the option to "convert" or "print" your image files with a right click in Windows explorer.
XnView
Efficient multimedia viewer, browser and converter.
PrintKey
Allows you to capture the entire screen or any portion of it, then make changes to the screen capture and save in a variety of formats.
Agent Ransack
Handy search utility for windows (supports regexps and you don't have to look at the stupid puppy dog)
Other
Linux
Free OS. I'm not going to link to individual distros as we could be here all year but the website in the link will help explain linux in general to you and help you pick a distro.
QuickPWN
Amazing application to jailbreak you I-pod Touch or Iphone
A sticky would be nice
Feel free to suggest any software to add to the list. Check the list first to see if it's already there.
Rules: Must be free for unlimited use (i.e. Can save, no time limit or usage limit). If a bug enables you to use a trial version indefinitly, it still does not qualify (e.g. mIRC or WinRAR)
Links required. (If more than one user suggests it I will look up the links myself, but I can't look up every link due to time.)
