README
The purpose of this book is to introduce awesome apps on Windows. These apps here all meet condition listed on our Org home
Note: Apps that meet the following conditions will NOT be listed although they may deserve a try:
- 1.Modified or cracked versions of an app, such as unofficial ad-free versions which can provide a better user experience than the original versions. This rule does not apply to modifications permitted by the open-source license.
- 2.Apps that are useful only in limited areas, such as NPR One and IME.
- 3.Apps that are incompatible with 64-bit OS.
- 4.Apps that mainly concentrate on attacking and/or hacking.
- 5.Pure website wrappers.
Apps that can be categorized in multiple ways are categorized by what they are intended for; A note will be provided for compatibility issues of some very individual apps.
There is a blacklist at the end of the book containing apps that violate users' rights, security and privacy severely. These apps are to be avoided.

- 2.The app has not been updated for a long time, and it is not clear whether the app is still maintained.
