A reading from the book of Steve (Jobs & Wizniak), Chapters 8-19.

And LO!  The Lord of the OS did come down among His sheep and He did sayeth, "Thou shalt pay Bill Gates, and he will delivereth unto you my product.

"I am your OS, your GUI. Thou shalt not have false GUI's on machines before me."

And the Lord said, "The ancient 16-bit and 32 bit applications are evil! I am sorry I ever created them.  I shall destroy them all and start over. Thou shalt buy new computers."

And the prophets Intel came forward and said, "But Lord, what about backwards compatibility? What about the tribes of 8086 and 80286 and 80386 that are allready by far less equal than the superior tribes of 80486 and Pentium32?"

And lo, the Lord bacame angry and said, "Compatibility is irrelevant.  You will be assimilated."

And the consumers gathered around Bill Gates and the Tower of Microsoft, and they asked, "Prophet, how much must we spend on salvation?  Seven times our investment?"

And Bill Gates turned to the crowd and said untio them, "Nay, consumers, not seven but seventy times seven times your investment. Only then shall you be saved."

And the consumers did as they were told. But the product did not work, and they grew angry, and they cired out to the Lord, "Lord, we have done as you asked, but the product does not work!  Our machines, they run slow!  Our applications, they do not run."

And the Lord said unto them, "I tell you this, it is easier for Alice Cooper to enter the gates of heaven than for a Pentium to run Windows without facing thou blue screen of death."

And as the masses came forward, I saw inscribed upon their heads SP1, the number of the Bill.. And the Prophet Bill, for that is who it must have been, he raised his right hand, and broke the first seal, saying, "Behold, the seal of Microsoft. By the breaking of this seal you are bound unto whatever the contract within may say."

And as the seal was broken, all the great empires around the world were set upon with famine and floods and swarms of bugs like never seen before and great anguish befell them all.

And lo, the Prophet Bill held up the scroll and said, "Behold, the second seal!  I shall not break it today, but rather I shall break it soon, like perhaps next week, or maybe the week thereafter. Thou shall wait expectantly for its breaking, and shall not produce any work until that time shall come."

Sounds good, but for some reason not an option.

The ratings reflect the valor of software & websites for the active internet user, focussing on advanced comfort & a honest policy towards the client. All the reviewed free tools & sites have the potential to compete with commercial software. The few exclusively commercial initiatives reviewed here can not expect above a (4.5/5) rating. Not that they are less than superb but it is considered outstanding to offer superb software for a fair price. It is absolutely superb when one can have it without the obligation to pay for it. I do think it is fair to pay when equivalent free alternatives are unavailable and to donate when free software makes a difference. You will not find software reviewed below a (4/5) rating. The symbol (/) means that the software or website is reviewed but at the time for some reason excluded as a valuable option. Software or websites with a (/) code however have the potential to be selected if only: no nags, no aggressive public relations, no malware, no trackware, no tricks whatsoever, no harmful intentions. Read the disclaimer and enjoy the Nondisputandum project.
