I apologise if this has been done before.

I am just about to reinstall system and would just like to know what software you all install on a fresh install that you would not be without.

To make it easier if you list system apps first. :D

I am really intrested in your thoughts on this i have my faves but curious about the rest of you.

Thanks in advance

On windows ...

I must have Popmouse, the only app I can't truly live without. It's and old program not even developed anymore, but I keep a copy laying around.

It works a lot like gestures, except you don't need to click a button, you just shake the mouse.

Then Maxthon.

putty.

Paint Shop Pro.
