- jaygeeze, on 12/17/2008, -0/+19Many are great - but some really don't fall under the "game-changing". For example, Thunderbird's a great application - but it hasn't changed the fact that Outlook is still the most prevalent choice for email clients, nor does it offer enough features (unlike IE vs. Firefox) to convince people to switch.

-My comment box is currently humping this line of text I am typing so I'm done - dcmusicfusion, on 12/17/2008, -1/+6I don't think I can count, that sure sounded like **WAY** less than 25.....
- dumbrit, on 12/17/2008, -1/+5Dugg for the word 'sourcerors'
- Renton, on 12/17/2008, -1/+5Serious question; Whats the point of either of them? Is it so much better than just opening firefox and going to gmail.com?
- AgmLauncher, on 12/18/2008, -0/+2Buried for having absolutely ZERO organization and being impossible to read.
- Osmose1000, on 12/17/2008, -0/+2Funny that all 25 resources are articles that they themselves wrote.
- TheHerk, on 12/17/2008, -0/+2Dugg for pointing out the irritation level caused by the humping text box, and the use of the word humping.
Also, you can resize the textbox. Cool programming. - andrewrjones, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1when it gets extensions it will definitely be game changing
- rowjimmy, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1how do you resize the textbox?
i've filed a bunch of bug reports including videos & screenshots of all the ***** up things the comment boxes do and nothing has ever come of it... - sadjoker, on 12/19/2008, -0/+1Buried for having AVG... absolutely *****.
- numbnuts, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1I would include http://opencobalt.org too
=== - Nephersir7, on 12/17/2008, -1/+2Chrome is a game-changing open-source resource in the browser world, even though it cant beat Firefox in a near future.
- drgmdp, on 12/17/2008, -1/+2lol @ open office and gimp as gamechangers. you should get out more.
- rowjimmy, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1seriously, what incentive is there to post something like this? it's not spam, it's not malware, it's absolutely nothing you could benefit from (unless you posted the video and want to get hits?).
that said, here is one more way to get a free game ! http://www.wesnoth.org/
weirdo. - TheHerk, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1I can click and drag the lower right hand corner of the box. I should note, I'm using Chrome.
- drgmdp, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1yeah, well, no, not really.
- MavRevMatt, on 12/17/2008, -0/+1@TheHerk that's a feature in WebKit, that Chrome and Safari both use. It's dead useful.
- nerdherder, on 12/17/2008, -1/+1You mean Open Office tutorials are not game changing?!
- TheHerk, on 12/17/2008, -1/+1Hmm, I guess people that get out more than some unknown amount of getting out are better judges of the changing software landscape. Interesting.
I'm not sure that they've changed the game very much yet, but I do believe they're game changers. In spite of having licenses to Office, my office has switched to OO. So, maybe my limited scope has had an effect on my opinion, but the fact that I know tons of people that use OO as a replacement, not addendum, to MS Office leads me to believe that the game has changed a little. Before the only productivity software nipping at the heels of MS was not open source.
How is Gimp not a game changer? It replaces an extremely sought after, expensive piece of software that is regularly pirated with free, open source, similar functionality software.
Just because the score doesn't change doesn't mean the game didn't change.
I'm going to go practice my outdoor software judging. - Aurabolt, on 12/17/2008, -1/+1I used Thunderbird until I got a Gmail account, and linked all my previous email addresses to my Gmail. (You can send emails AS your other accounts too!)
- CloudThrasher, on 12/18/2008, -0/+0Prevalence does not equate with features, quality, stability, or it being rammed down our throats by Microsoft. IE's biggest feature is "Unable to Display Page." Wait ... that's a bug. What features does it have?
- korea, on 12/17/2008, -0/+0why share the impressions with others?
- zhaozhou0, on 12/17/2008, -0/+0s:AVG Antivirus:ClamWin Antivirus:
- TheHerk, on 12/17/2008, -3/+1You're absolutely right. Firefox, Open Office, Gimp = gamechangers
Photospace, Thunderbird = not quite
We'll see on Songbird; it looks very promising. - mohit115, on 12/17/2008, -5/+2Why does the title say "Game changing"? I thought it's something to do with games.
- brainnovate, on 12/17/2008, -4/+1Nope. You can't count. Go back to school :)
- CoD4, on 12/17/2008, -11/+0What you mean by free is:
Adobe Creative Suite
Final Cut Pro
Microsoft Office
