Maximum PC has always been one of the best places to go for "must have" software - free or need to buy.  I realize everyone has different opinions of what works for them - but it seems like at the end of the day - the same software names seem to rise to the top for different reasons.  Everyone sets up new PC's or revamps their OS with a new install and we all sift out software we hardly use and keep coming back to our favorites to reinstall.   Making a list of 'MUST HAVE' titles has long been a favorite of mine, and I think it is surprising how many people out there - real computer users but not perhaps in this league do not know about this stuff.  Everyone knows Youtube and Itunes, but not the mountains of software that can really make their PC work for them. All at practically no cost.

I have not seen a website, or know of one that is dedicated to this entire subject. You would think someone would put one together that would keep it up to date.  It would be a website I would go to constantly to check for new software - sort of like going to Itunes store or AmazonMP3.com to check out the latest songs and look at how many stars they recieved and look at the comments.  

Keep up the good work at Max PC-  your work is always worthy of a "KA" award.
