These are some great alternatives to products that most everyone use.

Meebo
An online Instant Messaging client. It saves your logs and you can rename people. You run it in a browser from anywhere.

Writely
A online word processing program. It was just bought by Google. It’s really good, but still in beta, so it needs some work.

Mozilla Firefox & Mozilla Thunderbird
A web browser better than Internet Explorer and a Email application better than Outlook. What more can you want?

Mercora
A wonderful prgram that is like your own personal radio. The great thing is you can record songs and you can broadcast your own for others to listen to. A must have.

OpenOffice.org
A free office production suite. Easily can replace Microsoft Office. You can run and save in Microsoft Word, Excel and other formats even. It’s great.
 Use OpenOffice.org
