Must Have software
 

I saw this thread a long a time ago and I found it EXTREMELY useful. I think it is time to re-visit it.

What software on your computer would you classify as a "Must Have". List the software that you just can't live without....

For me it has gotta be:

Photoshop
EasyPHP
Dreamweaver Suite
and my games, of course...:-)

oh, and Trillion...

How about you?

Opera
Proxomitron

That's it.

Winzip and Firefox are always the first things to go on a new Windows install for me. Then of course, whatever games I am playing at the time.

Windows
Trillian
XChat
VMWare
Cygwin
Vim
Winamp
Firefox

FreeBSD
Vim
Bochs
XMMS
Ogle
Firefox
nmap
ethereal
gdb

Not too exciting, but I tend to be fairly focused on work for the time being.

I could have sworn there was a long thread about this before, but alas:
Mozilla Firefox
DeadAIM
Lavasoft Ad-Aware
Spybot
SpywareBlaster
Norton Systemworks

Among the not mentioned pieces of software that I consider must haves:
Startup control panel
Tweak UI (tweak XP)
WinRAR
RealPopup
iconsaver
Nero
Powerdvd
Zonealarm

I could go on, but it seems like I need lots of stuff before I am comfortable with the PC being up to par.

AIM
FireFox
WinAmp
Counter-Strike

That's all =]

Add flashget to that list.

Firefox
X-Chat
gcc
Amarok

gaim
firefox/thunderbird
winamp
photoshop
world of warcraft

and i dual boot red hat for development

winzip/winrar/winamp/bsplayer

nero, steam, dreamweaver.

Firefox
iTunes
WeatherDock
LaunchBar
Synergy
Macaroni

(Mac OS X applications)

Mozilla
Real Player (just kidding)
AVG
Zone Alarm
Ultra VNC
M$ Office
DVD XCopy

DeadAIM
DVD Shrink
Nero
Photoshop
Norton Internet Security
Azureus

YahooPOPs!
MS Office

Opera is probably the closest to being a must have for me, but I could probably live with Firefox if I had to :)

Illustrator
BBEdit
Safari
ITunes
Quark XPress

Firefox/Thunderbird/Sunbird

Gaim
7-zip (I think, anyway it opnes almost any compressed or archived file)

etc.

Firefox
