Essential Programs

I know this has been done before but I haven't seen it for a while. So, what software is essential to you? Mine would be:

MyIE2 - The Cadillac of web browsers IMO. Many features.
K++ - No reason you should be using regular Kazaa with this.
eDonkey\eMule - Excellent program for downloads, though slow.
Alcohol 120% - All about the virtual drives.
Nero 6 - Good CD Burning program.
Winamp 2.xx - Still my fav program for playing MP3s.

I'm sure I forgot a few, but that's good for now.

Trillian - without it, I'm isolated
XChat - when I do manage to get on the #tfp channel, XChat > Trillian's IRC support
AvantBrowser - I prefer it to MyIE2
BCDC++ - campus runs a DC hub, this is the best Windows-based client there is
WMP - Hate it all you like, but I prefer it to listen to MP3s with
SSH - Gotta manage my servers somehow.
Cygwin/WinGNU32 - Very useful to have *n?x command line utilities in Windows
Mathematica - I take notes in it, I do my homework in it, it's amazing.

Edited to add:
gVim - Best text editor ever (DOWN WITH EMACS)

My most essential application would have to be Proxomitron. Beats the hell out of all those "embedded" Pop-up killers in other web-browsers, but also allows you to cut out adverts, sounds, annoying animated GIFs, blocks well-know banner ad sites etc. Essentially speeds up your browsing a significant amount.

After that...

Opera 7.0 (liked it so much I paid for it)
Notepad (great for drafting up posts, and I use it to take notes during meetings)
Outlook (would be lost without it; absolutely essential for my job)
Cisco VPN client (have to tunnel back into the office somehow)
Cisco Aironet (wireless networking rocks; both for the office and my home wireless network)
Word (use it everyday)
Powerpoint (use it everyday)
Excel (use it everyday)
MS Project (use it every week)
IE (some pages still don't like Opera)
SameTime (IBM/Lotus Instant Messenger app; used in work to talk to my colleagues around the globe in different time-zones)

I like Photoshop 7, but stopped using it as I didn't have a licensed copy. I don't like pirating. So now I use Photoshop Elements, a good entry level app by Adobe I got with my scanner.
