Default What is am alterntive for GillSans on the PC?

I was unable to find GillSans for free anywhere so i was woundering if someone knew what would be a good alternative to GillSans for the PC. Arial is the alternative to Helvetica i belive. Can anyone help???

arial is the sham of a doppelganger to helvetica fyi, arial is a shameless straight copy more or less - cheap imitation, gill sans is definitive there is no alternative
