OpenSource/Free or Shareware
To a lot of geeks, software that costs money is automatically superior. To other geeks (such as myself), software that is free and preferably open-source is always best. Whether you're a geek or not, where would you fall into this? Is price a factor when you get software, and can you go through a few hurdles if it means saving a chunk of change?
Good Software Comparisons:
Gimp vs. Photoshop
Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, etc.) vs. Mac OS X or Windows
Pidgin vs. Trillian
OpenOffice.org vs. Microsoft Office
Additionally, what are some applications in either category that you can't do without?
