•Photoshop
•Capture One (still running v.6 but plan on upgrading to 7) *great tool for RAW digital conversions. also great if shooting rollfilm, and you want to do global edits and apply them to multiple frames. "not just for digital capture"
•Chrome browse (Safari STILL sucks!)
•Skype (great for calling friends FREE)
(Edit)•Google Phone(not really a "program" ,but in Gmail you can call US numbers for FREE, so I like to use it in lieu of my cell phone when possible(save the minutes and all that). Not sure if this is possible globally?
have been using Office and Adobe for pdf stuff, but really only use the two for invoices and the like(mainly Word), but going to move to OpenOffice soon.
Office 2010 (I'd be perfectly happy with Open Office, but my publisher requires that we us "genuine" Microsoft)
Adobe CS6
Firefox Browser
Camtasia (for video acquisition and editing)
Civilization (Hey. I ain't gonna work all the time!)
Great suggestions! I've downloaded a couple of them already.

Is there any way to download this without installing all the spyware and add-ons and other crap? The installer asks me if I want to install a bunch of crap, then when I decline to install the add-ons the installer exits without installing CCleaner.Originally Posted by Preston

Lightroom
Google earth
Autodesk Inventor
Altium Designer
C++ Builder
I use my PC almost exclusively for photo editing. My iPad handles most of my other daily tasks. Give me a browser if some sort (slight preference for Chrome) and the following applications, and I'll be just fine.
Lightroom
Photoshop
Vuescan
Office (I don't use it much, but I'd miss it if it weren't there)
I don't know, Jody. I certainly didn't have a problem like that. Weird.
