Try some free software - good examples which are free and easy to download are: Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Gimp, Audacity, amsn, pidgin, etc.
Try to use it exclusively for a few days - then decide whether you like it or not! Say why/why not.
For the purpose of this weeks Tutespark I have chosen to download the free web browser software Mozilla Firefox 3.5. It was fast and easy to download and install. Once I started using the software I liked it instantly, it was simply nicer to use. Firefox has thousands of add-ons to personalise your browser, plus so many more features to make using the internet faster and even more convenient. One feature I particularly liked was the 'Awesome Bar' which allows you to simply type a term into the location bar and the autocomplete function will include possible matching sites from your browsing history.
I also found it fun that you can choose from thousands of different pictures and photos in the 'Personas Gallery' to personalise the look of your browser. I used to use safari on my personal computer but after trying firefox I wont be going back. It seems faster, more personal and more fun to use!
