Good list!

Though I wonder about the ICQ thing. I mean, I use trillian so I'm pretty open-minded when people tell me how to IM them -- but my AIM list is like 100x my ICQ list.

is ICQ a multi protocol client like trillian or is it its own messenger service?

Realplayer? WTF? Why would anyone want to download such useless spyware?

Good to see Firefox is already #4 on the list.

ruffles! But then again, I wonder how many of us had broadband back when we had all those 'buffering' problems. Real nowadays is a lot better than WMP when streaming video (in my experience.)

9 is truly shameful.

further, the fact that nobody knows of the true benefits of winrar is sad :( winrar > winzip... time for a poll.

Real Alternative for teh win.

It does the exact same thing as Real Player, but without the spyware crap.

I still hate having more than one player on my computer. I use WinAmp most of the time, sometimes Quicktime when I have to (I was forced into downloading this POS), but never more than two.

ok, stop posting :p

most of us have discussed real alternative here. but realplayer as a standalone application should not be #9 on that list since it totally sucks. we all know real alternative is out there (like i said, it's been discussed many, many times on this forum) but he's referring to realPLAYER, not alternative.
