When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. -- Richard M. Stallman
在这里,我只推荐能够免费(或者开源)使用的、真正注重实质而非花哨(更不会在软件程序中增加些垃圾插件)的工具软件。由于多数并非商业软件,使用方面可能并不合适电脑初手。免费的东西有时却是更优秀的产品,敢於免费比敢於收费更有勇气和自信。
——aRNoLD
The no-charge stuff is no less valuable than those being charged, for a no-charge claim may present more courage and self-confidence to all.
The following products and tools emphasize function rather than facial or UI experience, to which my recommendation is attributable. However, the negative side lies in the fact that novices may not get a take-for-granted commercial support when needed.
Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP
这是一个类似Daemon Tools的虚拟光驱软件,功能简单到了不能再精简的地步,但它却是由微软开发的。
