[jcasey04]

I have to agree with Chris. I have iTunes and obviously have used it, but...ever since I downloaded and signed up for [free version only of] Spotify, I can listen to music for free OR I can listen to music that's on the hard drive (via legal methods -- eg. ripping from CDs we own).

[wevenhuis]

Office, dropbox and Windows Live.

The Best Windows software, runs on Mac OS X Lion!!!

Parallels Desktop 7

Running any Windows virtually and being asked when shutting down Windows if I like to delete og merge every changes that happens since I started up Windows every time is great!

THAT keeps Windows running without viruses, trojans, malware, bloatware, keyloggers etc..

;o)

PEACE!

[SourceBoltMedia]

My current mandatory programs that I MUST have at ALL TIMES; Chrome, Thunderbird, Windows Live Messenger, Notepad++, Faststone Capture, Filezilla, Eclipse (Dev program), Android SDK (functions like a program, sort of..), Evernote, some printer software program, and of course, Photoshop CS5.

Pretty hefty list of programs, they're a needed.. And I use them on a daily basis on average. Need more RAM, usually have many of these running simultaneously. Aspiring developer & entrepreneur. :)

[RedDragonLodge]

I think you need to change it to the best internet software available to make things easier.

[tomminky23]

Media player classic is better then VLC imo.

[bharatkumargupta]

now this looks like wicket's favorite video lol

[bharatkumargupta]

controversial lol, oh no i always listen to ur advice on tech stuff

[tobindarren]

FYI¡

[partyprash2000]

every Windows PC i have has to have Steam! :D

[NarcoticEvil]

i use alot of paid software - WinRAR & VMWare - which i guess is just as good as the free ones.

I actually like iTunes - i most probably shouldn't? I have tried WinAMP and Foobar 2000 - but im far from finding something that is visually pleasing. I am yet to find a replacement for iTunes - but if one came along id happily jump ship! (it'd be awesome if this alternate version had DIVX/XVID support)

[Baalund]

@NarcoticEvil What don't you like about Winamp? I agree that the ultimate media player hasn't been made yet although Winamp is very close.. and still the one i've used for years. iTunes is just plain shit. It supports nothing and the layout is awful

[NarcoticEvil]

@Baalund I dont know. I tried really hard to get used to it. I like having an 'audiowall' for my albums, being that all my albums show by artwork in a large pane. And from when I tried WinAmp i couldnt find something like that. I also tried other skins - but i hate multi-window interfaces, its very... well its outdated for me....

Unless you know of a media library that has an 'audio-wall' or a plug-in for winamp, then yeah sure ill try it again.

[ForceUnleashed83]

photos i just use the default what is on windows... Security I use Nod32.. eset! I disagree with itunes as well! also MIRC!!!! I this is a MUST! what else? Electric sheep :D

[ForceUnleashed83]

WinSCP is ok but I would rather use FlashFXP for that.. much better then anything but not free. I used that when I first started but no way! filezilla is good but I only use that on my mac because I cant get flashFXP! .. PUTTY? no way! use SecureCRT.. much better then putty! But again not free while putty is. chrome I use.. skype is good but I never use it.. pigeon not even sure what that is, team viewer is very handy.. 7zip? dont have a need for it. VLC is the best for sure!

[MGApcPro]

Allmyapps really good windows app store, quick install and backup...

It even reminds you of updates

[TheGregaM]

In fact, iTunes is one of the best discoveries that I had on my PC. I don't use any Apple hardware or software, but I found iTunes the only way I can organize my 200GB music collection. It's just switching your mind from classical "browsing folders for media" approach to organizing all your music on one big library with numerous of view options and smart playlists. I have about 35 smart playlists, and I finally have a way to control my music collection. So for me, iTunes IS essential software!

[scrupuloussam]

I don't mean to be "that guy" but VLC, honestly? Unstable, constant artifacts, searching is a laggy mess, overexposed image settings by default (!)

A custom installation of MPC-HC or MPlayer is much better.

[ForceUnleashed83]

@scrupuloussam I dont know what vlc player you are using but imo vlc is the best

[scrupuloussam]

@ForceUnleashed83 Maybe you lack a reference point.

[ForceUnleashed83]

@scrupuloussam Maybe...

[ivantomica]

Chrome, WSE, Skype, Win Live Messenger, MagicISO so that i don't have to mess with my cd's , i just use backup iso images, Notepad++, WAMP, TeamViewer, Adobe Reader, For my text editing and stuff i use web based apps like google docs. And BTW Yii is one of the best PHP framework's :)

[Backdoor1712]

Total Commander for sure!

[PinguimFU]

Ccleaner,Google Chrome,all the others above listed by @iBizkitas

[LynxenX]

Microsoft Security Essentials, Spybot Search & Destroy, Steam, Google Chrome, VLC Media Player, Dropbox Software. Thats it. MAYBE FireFox, as a backup browser.

[iBizkitas]

First things I install on windows are:

1. Microsoft Security Essentials

2. uTorrent

3. 7-zip

4. Deamon Tools Lite

5. Skype

6. Steam

7. OpenOffice

8. VLC - don't use other shiz this one is the best

9. I update my windows and install all the latest drivers.

[Sethoris]

Turn up the mic!

[Scheefinator]

ImgBurn

Winamp

[Xphome]

Launchy

[samdownsouth]

Nod 32, Chrome, Steam, Photoshop, Word, iTunes, Thunderbolt, Notepad ++

[ExStaticBass]

Avast antivirus is nice. I know a lot of people don't like Spybot Search & Destroy, but it does have quite a few useful tools and does a fair job of disabling spyware and malware. Also check into IObit in general. They have several freeware versions as well as professional for many of the medial tasks that we don't usually get to.

[Jutsch80HD]

Thank you Chris for hating iTunes too. I only have it because of my iPhone. I don´t know how it is on OSX but on Windows iTunes is the slowest piece of software i´ve ever seen. My PC can run BF3 on highest details but iTunes stutters sometimes!!! For most stuff it can be replaced with CopyTrans Manager and iFunBox, but sometimes there is no choice.

[locoplanet]

i strongly disagree with VLC, all of my experience with VLC have not been pretty, but thats my opinion.

[Shahbaz7371]

For a second there i thought your thumbnail was a picture of you giving us the finger :P

[Neojhun]

Notepad, only recently realised that. Though i'm a IT pro as long as Chris, i never liked notepad because its was lacking soo many features. Notepad++ is still my favourite. But Notepad is so useful and light. Best thing about is because it's soo shitty. It is a great tool strip any formating and metadata from text. Something as a coder i need often.

[jbx907]

ccleaner yes

[jbx907]

64 bit lol

[shankly1985]

Avast anti-virus great.

[redmar79]

spyware

[gnosismonk]

that ftp program is a piece of shit I would never use it.

[aminazam95]

Kaspersky and Opera :D

[itsDoubleAA10]

Google Music instead of iTunes.

[EternityHacker]

Power ISO

[blazingeek]

ninite . com

A great collection of software... It's easy and fast to install... You just pick which apps/programs you want and download a single installer (that installs all of the software).

[relaxingdude]

BEST WINDOWS SOFTWARE: FREE STUDIO FROM DVD VIDEO SOFT.COM

[xRaIDeNx69]

Visual Studio!

Best programming IDE everrrrrrr!!!

[RPGoof]

Aren't LibreOffice and OpenOffice seperate entities? I can imagine one was a spin-off of the other, but I was under the impression OpenOffice is still fully supported

[LAtrailers]

Media Player Classic is a lot better

[Xcodeur]

best audio management simple and tiny is "jaangle" for pc i think

[SanyaIVLitvyak]

I wouldn't use VLC, Mplayer2 is way better. VLC can't even play 10bit <_<

[djsmore]

clipboard enhancer, Ditto. for music, Spotify.

[wooka64]

I say open office Suit because all my stuff works with Microsoft office.

[bravejango12]

Steam

[wooka64]

Openoffice is great but to use it effectively, you need to be good at grammar. Other then that its extremely useful. its only weakness is grammar checking.

[RoboTekno]

I love VLC, but sometimes when I play .mp4 files, it will only play audio. It's rather weird. It will work when I first boot up my computer, but after a day of being on, VLC will usually not play video of mp4 files, but the audio of the MP4 file will play with a black screen. Again very weird.

[jpalmer2007]

what program would you recommend for managing music on windows other than iTunes? I have an ios device, but I'm tired of iTunes crashing... I'm trying Spotify, so far not many issues, just wondering if there is something out there better that I am missing - thanks

[MckaiserDragon]
