Note worthy open-source software for Microsoft Windows

LibreOffice:
LibreOffice is a powerful yet small open-source office suite, that's cross-platform. Since Windows 7 and up disabled quite a few of futures in their office suite, a lot of people have been left wondering, what they use to handle their office needs.


VLC:
VLC is a free and open source media player, that is cross platform, an it can play everything. Including open source codecs like flac. As well as proprietary codecs too; like mp3 and m4a


Firefox and Thunderbird:
Firefox has a long history in the open source world, it was a pioneer in a sense. Because netscape was the first to release it's source code, which was code named Mozilla and the browser was called Firefox, an the email client was called Thunderbird. Both have a large community base, for users to developers.


VeraCrypt:
VeraCrypt offers on the fly encryption of a system volume, whether it be a whole partition or just a file in the form of say, an iso. An once again cross platform, very stable and very tough.


0AD:
0AD is a open source game, which is one of a small group of them. If you've played Civilization, then you should be familiar with playing this game, a lot of fun, for all ages and works on all platforms.




I hope you've enjoyed this, as much as I have; so get cracking and have some fun.
