Intersting to note that the winner AlfaClock a taskbar clock actually expired before being named a winner!

See the quote directly from the website
"AlfaClock Free Edition 1.99 build March 31, 2009 expires at July, 2009"
Sure enough it has expired! It is a great clock similar to TClockEx that I have been using with XP but unfortunatly it will NOT work with Windoz 7.

Open Source Linux is best for free OS and some good packages for FREE.

I am using UBUNTU Linux 10.04 right now. It is available for free.

Register your Pack of CD on www.ubuntu.com.

You will found that it is full of FREE Software and applications which you've never used yet.

Its design is also fabulous and you can also customize according to your choice.

You can also get free packages for customizing your OS there.
