Digiguide - Enough said
Firefox - Enough said, and I can use it under Linux as well
Gaim - Trillian who?. And I can use it under Linux
DVD Shrink
Azureus - Best bittorrent client IMO and I can use it under Linux as well
Sharpreader - For Linux I use Straw which is similar.

1) Winamp 5
2) StyleXP
3) PhotoDrawv2
4) Ad-aware6
5) Nero 6

Almost everyone is listed winamp 2.81 Or winamp 3. Winamp 2.81 is Ok but a little bit dated, Winamp 3 is pure Sh**. Winamp 5 is the way to go.

Probably because the post is sixteen months old and Winamp 3 was the newest then (?)...

Depending on what PC I'm on I'll use either one of number 1

1. Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird
2. Winamp
3. Filezilla
4. Windows Media Player Alternative (plays quicktime & realplayer)
5. Nero

if I wasn't using my own PC I'd also include Spybot 1.3

Its great to see so many people using Mozilla these days

I have to say Kerio Personal Firewall ain't a bad app, does the job anyway and allows alot of configuration to be done, I used to use AtGuard untill symantec bought the company that made it and f*cked it up and turned it into Norton Internet Security
Now AtGuard was a excellent firewall and it was only 3.5MB..
