The operating system, presumably Windows, comes free (actually the cost is built in to the price I believe) but what else comes free. Microsoft Office does not, Photoshop does not and, apart from bits and pieces which come with such items as cameras for example, I am hard pressed to think of what does come free. Don't forget the cost of Virus detectors and firewalls. There's a start others doubtless will expand.
