Favourite Software

[thop]

topic says it all, what is your favourite/the best/most useful/etc. software of all time?

for me the vote goes clearly goes to the DOS Norton Commander, i was completely lost without this thing. so simple yet so powerful.

actually at least 1/3 of my vote belongs to its sophisticated linux brother, the GNU Midnight Commander, which i use every day.

Gravity (newsreader)...been using it for years
and still like it a lot!....using it right now....

I also loved Norton Commander, but I found Dos Navigator which IMHO was better, and with more features...
Though of the current programs I'm using I would suggest IrfanView, a great small image viewer. It does all the formats, it can do very simply image editing (cropping, resizing etc) and it loads the pictures fast..

Opera and *gasp* windows explorer.

Windows Commander 32 by Ghysler (a neighbor) thru thick and thru thin, then Corel graphics thru crashes and bashes for years, one of those love/hate things, now ZoomBrowser, though funky in places, and yeah, NC has saved my ass many times, though with NTFS it's now out... nothing's perfect

This isn´t an easy one, but I think I´d have to say Corel Draw (and what comes with it).
Best utility by far is PicaView 2. If you don´t have it you don´t know what you´re missing.

Oh, Winamp 2 and 3 (although both aren't even near perfect), Windows Media Player 6.4, and definately IrfanView! Oh, and Outlook Express

Regedit, Edit, Xcopy on work to do repairs

At home:
Texturiser, Litestep, MBM5, Mozilla

ACDSee with Picaview and ImageFox (totally agree with you about Picaview rubank!), NERO Burning ROM, MSN Messenger...do OS's count? If yes, BeOS and WinXP would definetly be on the list.

Hem.

Norton Ghost is a BRILLIANT piece of software. Ab-so-lutely.

Yes of course, how could I forget Norton Ghost (probably since I use it rarily). It really saves you a lot of trouble when things go bad...
AND it runs from a floppy

[rubank]

Well I did say this is a tough one, didn´t I?

You all mention good stuff, and here´s more (when needed and when things go wrong)

UltraEdit and Hex Workshop.

And for calculations Excalibur.

Partition Magic isn´t too shabby, and....

You see, there´no end to it

rubank

edit: Ooops, I forgot DosShell

Powerquest Partition Magic and Drive Image
2 of the pieces of software I always purchase upgrades for.
I used to used Ghost (before it was purchased by Symantec) but haven't needed it in years.
