Operating systems

I think this page is a valuable tool. I do take personal offense that (from the links I checked) this seems dominated by Microsoft Operating Systems requirements, without specification in the title or header. There are other operating systems like Apple's OS and Linux. Perhaps there should be multiple lists to accommodate each major Operating System.Trackinfo (talk) 21:54, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a useless article

Thought the article needs a lot of improvements but it's not a useless article at all. It needs some citations. And there are many mistakes in it, specially in arrangement. And many softwares missing. But I think it's an important article. Let the wikipedians improve it. But it should not be deleted at all. And User Trackinfo commented that it's Windows dominated article. I agree with him. There are lots of windows users as compared to Linux and Mac OS. But by the time, wikipedians who contribute using Linux and other OSs will improve it.

This article is pretty much useless because

It does not differentiate between freeware for home/personal use and freeware for commercial use.
