While it's specific to MS software, Microsoft does provide a free software inventory tool.
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sam/msia.mspx I expect there are some freeware tools out there that query the uninstall registry area to inventory software. There is a sample script in the Windows Admin Scripting Guide that will query the installed software via the registry. That would be a free and simple answer.
