CutePDF Writer is a great free software released under the GNU General Public License. However, it takes two files. First you need a converter (download and install here ), then you need the PDF writer (download and install here ).

We tried out a newly found Open Source software today and can't recommend it enough!
Showmypc allows you to share your desktop with multiple viewers, or even give them control of your mouse. It's a great way to demo software, give a presentation, or even show Aunt Matilda how to create folders in her Inbox.
I've recently found out about Picnik, a free online flash based photo editor.

It's super easy to use and very friendly for newbies. Screenshots below:
