Your favorite software/programs?

What software do you find indispensable? There are certain programs that I just couldn't do without because they make my computing life so much more easy and/or enjoyable.

- Firefox + certain extensions such as Tab Mix Plus and AdBlocker+

- MS Office (Outlook, Powerpoint and Word)

- RocketDock

- Comodo firewall

- uTorrent

- Media Player Classic and Combined Community Codec Pack

- Google Talk

- WinRAR

- PowerISO

- Foxit PDF reader

- some image viewing and burning program (currently Ashampoo Burning Studio and Faststone Image Viewer)

These are pretty much all must installs for me but if I had to pick my top two, they'd be Firefox and Outlook.

On Windows: Launchy - lets me launch programs or open folders without having to reach for the mouse Mindmanager - great for mindmapping, brainstorming and outlining Enterprise Architect - for object-oriented software design Lotus Notes - I have a love/hate relationship with this TortoiseSVN - Lets me access my subversion repositories easily On Linux: Emacs Subversion

Firefox MS Office, particularly OneNote avast! uTorrent Ace Utilities (clean up junk on the puter) Mnemosyne (because I'm studying for the bar) CiteIt! (great tool for writing papers) FileSync (to backup and sync documents) I've started to use Mindmanager recently, but haven't invested enough time to be a fluent user. I imagine it'd be a great tool if I learn how to use it properly.
