IRT OCB: Windows Media Player 9 sux, use 7 while you can. BSPlayer is better anyways, if only it didn't have some bugs.

????

Here are my honorable mentions:

Notepad (use all the time)
Wow! Thing for Winamp (best DSP plugin ever)
BSPlayer (great free, fast, efficient, full-featured player)
ACDSee 3.1 (fast, small image viewer, newer versions suk)
Ultra Edit (best editor ever)
Windows 2000 (best OS)
Nero (best CD burning software)
Gens (best MD/MCD/32X emu)
ZSNES (best SNES emu)
Project64 (uh... useful stuff)
Excel (pretty useful)


Dishonorable mentions: stuff I hate but have to use for some reason

QuickTime (bullshit player, worst ever, bloated, buggy, you gotta pay for fullscreen, etc)
RealPlayer (another selfish, propietary, bloated, buggy player)
Macromedia Flash (slow as hell, buggy, cannot kill loaded plugins, stupid sites use it)
OGG Media subtitle system (buggy and messy)


Edit: I had forgotten about a very important dishonorable mention:

Adobe Reader (bullshit PDF viewer, slow, bloated, resource waster, buggy, and gay copy&paste protection of the stupid PDF format)

1. Recycle Bin - getting rid of hentai before anyone can find it.
2. Halo - God like game
3. Divx player - the player of anime and phun
4. ABC bittorrent client - the downloader of anime and hentai.
5. Ad-aware - this program has saved me loads of times.

Honourable mentions:
Winamp - yay, music!
MSN messenger - yay, friends!
Zone Alarm - yay, no hack attacks!
Norton Virus Scan - yay, viruses!
Photoshop - yay, pic edits!
WinDVD - yay, more anime!
Kanji Power - yay, funky ways to learn the kanji!
Quicktime - yay, Halo music videos!
<s>WinDVR - yay, TV!</s> ...nevermind

Hate you:
Windows Media Player series 9 - try working for a change. (nothing works with it. Not even uninstall!)
Microsoft Access - God! I've never had to waste so much time before in my life!

1.Flash
2.Itunes(I know they screw artists, but its so easy)
3.Mozilla(Tabbed browsing, blocks where you've been.)
4.Adobe Acrobat(I downloaded the complete works of HP Lovecraft into this prog)

[Allchimistul]

that would be 1)Opera 7.1
2)Counter-Strike
3)dc++
4)Winamp 5
5)Norton Antivirus 2004

[Cataferal]

Probably:

1. Explorer (and sometimes netscape, but where would we be without these?)
2. Bit torrent (anime and OST's would be harder to obtain without it)
3. Windows Media Player (to play half of the anime)
4. DivX (to play the other, more picky, half)
5. Winamp 5.0 (just a great and fast audio player)
6. Guitar pro 4 (to compose music)
7. Creative Wavestudio (to record myself playing the guitar)
8. Winace Archiver (to extract all those files i downloaded...invaluable)
9. Ad-aware (equally invaluable, possibly more)
10. Zonealarm (a requirement for internet-able computers in this day and age. Its blocked about a million or so intrusions since i got broadband last year)
11. dBPoweramp music converter (.wav to .mp3...and back again! For making my guitar recordings easier to send over MSN)
12. MSN (an addictive tool that constitutes the majority of my social life...which fortunately is very small).

I dont have much else to be honest, this is all i need to get by. Theres the occasional emulator, but i tend not to be keen on playing games on my computer since i have some superior games consoles nearby.
