I have to present some 'process' or 'flow' of the application at work on friday. I was hoping to prepare a flow chart before I begin the hands on demo.
Any suggestions for freeware sw to make simple flowcharts on Windows?
A:
If you have Microsoft Word or Excel you can select Insert|Shapes|Flowchart to create a Flowchart. I know it is not free but if you have Microsoft Office already, it may be an option.

A:
Use GraphViz. At its core, it's a description language that produces decent graphcs automatically. Another answer recommended Dia... Dia is a GUI tool that produces GraphViz .dot files. If you want total layout control (generally not necessary for a flowchart), use Dia. If you just want something that produces a reasonable layout by itself, use GraphViz directly.
As an added bonus, GraphViz works with many wiki packages as a plugin... Confluence, MediWiki, Trac, for starters.

Try yEd. This amazing diagram editor is freely available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. I use this for creating flowcharts, UML or BPMN diagrams. Also, allows to export to various formats such as svg, swf, pdf, png, and emf.

Google Drawings (http://www.google.com/google-d-s/drawings/) has been released since this question was answered. It has several built-in flowchart stencils, or check out the templates to find some more elaborate flowchart elements that you can copy-paste into your document.

6,000 euros for a 1-developer license != freeware.

@Joe White: I used this link: http://www.mxgraph.com/demo/jgraphx/jgraphx.jnlp - I created a diagram and could save it and exported it in different formats. For free.
