Best Free Open Source Software For Windows
snydeq writes "InfoWorld surveys the FOSS-on-Windows landscape, detailing the 10 free open source solutions most likely to unseat proprietary offerings. 'Some, like TrueCrypt and VirtualBox, are real diamonds in the rough: enterprise-grade solutions that deliver many of the same bells and whistles of their commercial brethren, but for free. Others, like Firefox and OpenOffice.org, are already legendary, and their strong followings ensure their continued development and support at levels that rival the best proprietary solutions.'" Rather than click through 10 different pages, the slideshow presentation at least lets you hover over each page's link to preview the author's top picks.
Hmm, seems they left out Wubi.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
Wrong. The reason you got it despite your supposed telling it not to install is because you can't fucking read instructions.
The first page mentioning Yahoo has a checkbox that controls only setting Yahoo as the default search engine. I'm betting that you unchecked that checkbox incorrectly thinking you opted out of the toolbar. Although the page describes the toolbar, unchecking that box does not stop the installing of the toolbar as the installer clearly highlights: IMPORTANT:If you don't want to install the PDFCreator Browser Add On, then please unselect it on the next screen.
On the component selection screen you then need to deselect "PDFCreator Browser Add On for Internet Explorer and Firefox." in order to actually bypass the toolbar.
Your inability to read and follow instructions (like a few others that suffer from the same lack of reading comprehension skills) is not the fault of PDFCreator. Try again.
