Windows to me is a bit drab by itself so here is a small list of free and lightweight apps that make Windows a little nicer, a little safer, and in some cases a little cooler. Being a Linux user these almost make Windows acceptable.

If your coming from Windows and enjoyed playing around with Fruityloops and the likes like me you may be interested in a couple of items listed here. This is more for those who want to just install something and start playing. I will walk you through building Wired though, which is an awesome Reason like application for Linux, or you can download the deb that I built. I wanted to write about these applications, because I find them to be exceptional and hope they get a lot of attention.

I don't know why there are 50 billion posts for every distro ever created in regards to installing and using these formats now a days. Anyway, everything you will ever need to know to setup and use these formats, dvd, mp3, wma, wmv, quicktime on (K)Ubuntu  Linux will be here...
