From the page: "I wondered how free software like Firefox, Digg, Snurl make money or fund their projects ?

I searched on google and found answers:

Firefox

Mozilla Corporation makes all that money because of the Google Search box on the top right. If you search with that box (which I do all day long) and you click on the Google ads on the results page Firefox gets ~80% of that. They also have Amazon in the search box, and other services that I'm sure kick them back some affiliate fees. Brilliant."

From the page: "Firefox - A real internet browser.

Sounds like a good deal, right? All you have to do is get Firefox 3 during Download Day to help set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours - it�s that easy. We're not asking you to swallow a sword or to balance 30 spoons on your face, although that would be kind of awesome.
By the way, the official date for the launch of Firefox 3 will be posted here soon - so check back!"

From the page: "Welcome to the confusing world of Word 2007, Vicky. Assuming I�ve correctly understood your questions, here are some answers.

>>How do I open Word 2007?

Lots of ways. Click the Start button - All Programs - Microsoft Office - Word 2007.

Or, open Windows Explorer, navigate to the file(s) you want to open, and double-click on it/them. If Word 2007 isn�t opening automatically when you do that, then it�s likely that it a) wasn�t installed, or b) wasn�t installed correctly. You might need to take your computer back to whomever installed Office 2007 and find out why it appears not to be there. "

Excellent Website

From the page: "Anyone who's ever browsed the Internet at all (and who hasn't!), chances are they've come across situations where you had to view a PDF file. PDF is the most widely used format for things such as online brochures, ebooks, and other online literature. Probably the most popular software out there for viewing, editing, and manipulating PDF files is the Adobe Acrobat Suite of software. For people who don't know any better, Acrobat is their first choice when choosing software for all of their PDF needs. While Acrobat has proven to be a sufficient choice for any kind of PDF needs, there are plenty of drawbacks to this software that people need to know about, and there are plenty of good alternatives.

For starters, if you do any kind of research about Acrobat on the Internet, you'll find people complaining of slow performance. While Adobe claims that their latest versions are up to 50% faster than previous versions, it can still take a substantial amount of time to load larger ebooks in PDF format using Acrobat's Adobe Reader 8. The long load times are just one of the issues that people complain about. Another issue with Acrobat is its price. The newest version of Acrobat costs anywhere from £150 on up to £350 for their 3D PDF software. There are plenty of cheaper alternatives out there - many of which are completely free. Other common complaints associated with Adobe Acrobat include: frequent browser crashing when opening PDFs in a web browser, computer freezes, Acrobat uses too much computer memory, and updates are way too frequent and annoying."
