I can't vouch for any of these programs but there may be some good ones here.

I can vouch for 2 & 27, Noreen. GIMP is not as powerful as Photoshop, imo, but then I got Photoshop free. :)
Nice find.
A good read Noreen. I downloaded OpenOffice a few weeks ago and I'm still finding my way round it.
I think it's worth giving it a try and it's free. Also tried a few photo editors but like Rick I use Photoshop cos' I also got it free. :)
Yes good one that. of the ones Ive tried in the list
Number 2 definitely ;D
Number 3.....similar to BrianM just getting into it recently so cant comment at the moment.
others Ive changed from but are not open source AKAIK 27... Adobe Acrobat to Foxit Reader
36.....Nero to Ashampoo Burning Studio 2008 is good
44......winzip to AlZip so easy to use and seems quicker
and one not in the list but I like to mention is used to use WS_FTP to FireFTP add on in firefox.....very quick
Very nice find, Noreen. That's going to make a very interesting read. :)

PDF Creator replaces the creation side of Acrobat, Baz, bit it isn't a reader.
