Winamp
Monkey's Audio and FLAC plugins for Winamp
QuickTime Alternative Site also has K-Lite Code pack and RealAlternative which I haven't tried.

DVD Shrink - cannot beat spead and quality for movie only backups
DVD Rebuilder - more PITA setup, can backup entire movie and great quality if using CCE
I hear Sony Vegas Movie Studio + DVD is good for making pro quality movies and DVDs
Also hear DVD Lab is simple and good and some like Pegasys TMPG Encoding Studio.
DivX Create Bundle

Tweaks R Us Nvidea Driver

Civ 3
Medal of Honor Pacific Assault & European Assault
Call of Duty
Madden Football
Hearts of Iron 2
Brother in Arms
Pharoah and Cleopatra

WordWeb free dictionary

UPP script for mIRC

Sygate Personal Firewall Pro
Partition Magic
Norton Ghost - standalone cd
Norton System Works
Daemon Tools

Macromedia Studio MX or at least FlashMX
Zend Studio or HTML-Kit for PHP and HTML coding

some map software would be good, but not sure what's best.

Bitcomet needs to be on there. I haven't used Bittornado in a while but Bitcomet was better at the time.

Acronis True Image is also something that I would never want to be without.

Also Partition Magic.

And AutoGK.

I'm done.

DEUS EX!!!

Also, does Adobe CS2 come with a thumbnail viewer?
If not I'd like to nominate ACDSee for your list.
Yes I know WinXP has a thumbnail mode, but its slow and has a poorly organized database.

I would add iptables and ipfw


Edit: Looks like the OP is anti nonwindows based apps. Updated the list, but still no vim. vim is used by me so often. I even had to get vi for windows, because I have to use a windows machine sometimes, and notepad is crap.

I've had nothing but problems with that program, always leeks memory, cpu usage goes up to 90%, crashes when i try to run the log viewer, and so on.
i've ran it with the recommended aim version too.

You need the expansion to Call of Duty, United Offensive. Also, Age of Mythology and AOM: The Titans are great games, especially if you like mythology. I would get the original HL (should be VERY cheap nowadays), solely for The Specialists, a free mod that is the most awesome concept I have seen in any game. Last but not least, WC3 and WC3:FT are classics, you can't forget those.

Kaspersky > Mcaffee.

For IM: Trillian owns all.

Yeah, I don't have problems but if it's an ongoing issue for more than yourself I would be happy to remove it. Good input!

Some of these I don't know and some of these already on the list. A short description would be great, otherwise I'm going to have to google all these and write a description. I'll likely do this list but in the future a little more than the name would be great, I'll do the same for what is already on the final list, thanks.
