Web Browsers:  Mozilla Firefox 3.0/Google Chrome

Video Editors:  Adobe Premier Elements,  Adobe Premier Pro (though I usually just need elements)

Video Converters:  Allok Video Joiner (Very handy for repairing pesky corrupted movie files), Easy Video Splitter (Easy to split videos into equal parts.  Very handy for making music videos on a computer with less than 3gb of ram.),  Ashampoo Movie Shrink & Burn

Video Codecs:  DIVX, K-Lite Codec Pack

Video Players:  VLC, …..I’ll get back to you on the other player I use.  Forgot the name.

Image Editor:  Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop CS3 Extended (Haven’t totally made the switch yet)

Word Processor:  Office ’07, MS Works (it has great templates)

Torrent Downloader:  Utorrent 1.8.1 (Stable)

Antivirus:  AVG Free 8.0

Dictionary:  Wordweb Pro (they have a free version which is pretty good too if anyone’s interested)

Spanish Dictionary:  Oxford Spanish/English Dictionary (also free if you can find it anymore.  It’s an old program.  Barely works on Vista.)

C++ Compiler:  Dev’s C++ Compiler

Dock:  RocketDock

Sidebar:  Thoosje Vista Sidebar, Real Vista Sidebar

Zooming Utility:  Toshiba Zooming Utility (I’ve modified it to work on other computers, even desktops!  With this program you can make your icons any size you want without blurring them and you can also zoom the screen whenever you please.)

Well that's about it folks.
