Reviews and Free Downloads at C|Net.Com

The best things in life may be free, but most software isn't. Limited functionality, annoying adware, and pesky nag screens mean that even most "free" software isn't actually without cost.

Don't give up, though--some gems are out there. Download.com's Desktop Enhancements category is a lot like a salad bar: there's something for everyone. If you enjoy seeing the Earth from an airplane window but have no upcoming travel plans, you'll get a lift from Holding Pattern Screensaver. If, on the other hand, you're bent on increasing your productivity, JetToolBar will help reduce the time you spend combing drives and folders. Then there's Konfabulator, which straddles the line between work and play with a collection of widgets that are both useful and amusing. Roll up your sleeves, put away your wallet, and take a gander at 10 desktop enhancements.
