Top deset najsimnuvani programi izminative 10 godini

Today instant messengers are ubiquitous, but
when ICQ ("I Seek You") was first released in 1997, it was truly the
first of its kind. Though competitors such as Yahoo Instant Messenger
and AIM have since encroached on ICQ's territory, this chat client
remains enormously popular with international users, and it has
remained one of Download.com's most popular applications since its
launch. ICQ




















Winamp

Arriving fast on the heels of the emerging MP3 digital format,
Nullsoft's Winamp was one of the darlings of the burgeoning digital
audio scene in the late '90s. This free audio player quickly gained
popularity, becoming one of the most popular files on Download.com, and
Nullsoft was eventually acquired by AOL in 1999.

Napster Who doesn't remember this controversial file-sharing
kingpin? Developed by Northeastern University student Shawn Fanning,
Napster was a groundbreaking application that enabled users to share
MP3s painlessly for the first time through a peer-to-peer network.
Napster has since been sued, shuttered, and reborn as a subscription
music service, but its legacy remains

























Firefox Developed by the open-source Mozilla project in 2003,
Firefox was the first browser to show the promise of breaking
Microsoft's stranglehold on the browser market. Lightweight, secure,
and packed with useful features, Firefox exemplifies the promise of the
strengthening open-source movement.
















WinZip When CNET Download.com launched in 1996, WinZip was among
the first programs in our library, and in the past nine years, it has
remained near the top of our Most Popular list. The reason is simple:
For many years, WinZip was an essential utility. You couldn't download
or send large files without it. Even the fact that Windows XP now has
built-in ZIP support hasn't diminished its popularity. The keys to
WinZip's success are its simplicity and its singularity of purpose: it
does one thing--compressing and decompressing files--and it does it
very well.

























iTunes Apple's music player and organizer makes our top 10 list for the
sheer beauty of its product design. iTunes is not only a full-featured
media player and library in its own right, it's also the gateway for
Apple's iPod and popular music store, creating an elegant and simple
interface for buying and organizing music. If only all software were
this easy to use.






















Ad-aware Almost as soon as there was software to download, there
was adware coming along for the ride. Lavasoft did its part to hold the
line with Ad-aware, a spyware scanner and remover. Its simple interface
and excellent results have gained the program acclaim over the past
five years, including a recent monopoly on the No. 1 slot in
Download.com's Most Popular list. We wouldn't download files without
it, and apparently, neither would most of you.



















Skype If Internet signals can travel over a phone line, then voice
calls can travel over the Internet, right? With a Voice-over-IP (VOIP)
program such as Skype, they certainly can. The prospect of making free
calls to folks all over the globe has persuaded millions of people to
install the software; the ease of use and surprising voice quality have
earned Skype a loyal user base and accolades that include a CNET
Editors' Choice and a Webby.






















RealPlayer Ten years ago, the Web was full of static content. The 1995
debut of RealPlayer changed all that. Streaming audio and video in a
free media player was a bold step forward into making the Internet a
viable entertainment platform, and RealNetworks was there. Today the
software plays almost every media format, and the online music store
sells tunes compatible with most MP3 players--even the iPod. RealPlayer
hasn't always been at the head of the class, but it was there first,
and it keeps adapting to the developing world of online media.






















Adobe Acrobat Reader Bridging the gap between print and Internet
publishing, Adobe's portable document format (PDF) lets publishers
distribute their articles, newsletters, and documentation online
without worrying about formatting problems or unauthorized alterations.
By giving away the Acrobat Reader early on, Adobe helped create a
nearly unassailable market position. If you want to read magazine
archives or software manuals online, you need Acrobat Reader--as its
nearly seven-year occupation of the Most Popular list can attest.
