All About Freeware

Here are two additional advantages of free software which I neglected to mention in a previous post…

1. Users can easily download and try out different freeware programs without having to commit to buying an expensive software package. This way, if the program doesn’t meet the user’s needs or won’t work on his/her computer, it is easy to remove it and install a different one.

2. Freeware is more environmentally friendly and consumes fewer natural resources in manufacturing/distribution. Unlike with typical commercial software, there is no shipping, packaging materials, compact discs, or paper manuals involved.

Other advantages include its free availability, convenience, and often lower system requirements.
