A selection of essential Windows software through the millennia for all Windows but "8"!
All the software in this section has been retrieved from CDs annexed to commercial magazines. Most of them are freeware standalone utilities and many of them are nice applications coming from the past millennium. Most programs are perfectly working on Windows 31, 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista and 7. No cracks are posted; those applications carrying a serial number are regular bonuses from the annexed magazines. All applications are downloadable in .zip files. No personal liability is taken if things go awry.
