Hi everyone.
This will be a very long post, i hope you will be able to help.
In my company we are making a switch from typical software (microsoft office, adobe packets, sony vegas, etc),
Into a freeware-based system.

I googled a bit and found many diffrent programs for each, but i have little to no knowledge about those.
So, anyone can tell me, what programs from the freeware are most look-alike the payed versions?

Programs i need are basicly the entire adobe but especially photoshop, after effects, outlook, powerpoint, word, sony vegas... Right now i cant think of more, but as you can guess in an office dedicated to editing vidio-audio, images, etc there is probably more.

Any input will be usefull, but i would really appriciate if only those who have traied many diffrent programs point me in the right direction.

Thank you for your help.
