Although I make a habit of avoiding Windows it’s unavoidable. A typical installation of Windows is devoid of many useful tools such as ISO creation and burning, a tabbed text editor, a useful file archiver…the list goes on.

I’ve built a list of core software, all free, which fills many of these gaps in Windows including:

• Unzipping
• Text editing
• Media codecs
• Remote control
• Secure file deletion
• ISO manipulation

Check out the complete list here.
