Freeware for Windows have arguably more bugs than Windows itself. i tried the Pocket Voice Recorder a couple of days ago and the thing doesn't even install correctly. Most others are either 'lameware' or 'buyware'.:o)
This may be yet another sign for switching to the Mac OS X. If Apple's iLife app's don't floor you, Apple's X11 (XDarwin implementation) should open you up to the world of freeware (yes, that means Linux apps will run on the mac too!).
and if Audio, Video, Music app's are what you particularly need then i'd say no alternative looks better than the mac right now. and i'll bet not for a while at least! The Macintosh is the cleanest looking UNIX ever. Give Linux another 10 years (?) and Microsoft.. uh, give them a drawing board!
