The Free Way tip 2 - Replace windows with a free legal operating system.

Windows unless free with your PC or laptop is a very expensive operating system, there are free alternatives out there though.
They may be a bit different to what your used to but Linux operating systems are definitely worth considering. The best part about most recent Linux distros is you can preview them from a live cd/dvd/usb without even installing them. A great so hear about all the lates Linux news, releases and reviews is DistroWatch a great place to start looking is on their Major Distributions page which shows yo the top 10 distro`s. I find the best way to try a distro out is using a usb stick and this handy free program Linux Live USB you can use this to make live usb`s to try distro`s out. Just run the program and it will have steps for you to follow when done just reboot your machine and try Linux with no effect to windows at all as long as you don't install. Most distro`s work very well in a dual boot setup with Windows so you could even have both or several installed. So go ahead try out a Linux distro it wont harm your machine or your wallet and its free, i personally recommend Linux Mint.
