Review
I have tested this nice software. Really simple to yet, and quite powerful, compared to mindjet. But what I really miss to make it a useful tool, is reporting capabilities. Mpas are stored in XML (so possible to extend features), but I would be happy to see filter-based reporting capabilities (eg: extract all tasks in top priority…).

Very stable and easy to use. May not have a whole lot of functionality, but very useful for basic mind mapping and note taking.

Freemind is great for mind mapping. I have used it to map ideas (naturally) but also to model dependant relationships between infrastructure.
