At some point, I suppose I'm going to have to upgrade to Windows 7 on a
new computer (I will make this current one my Linux testing bed though.)

I have all kinds of freeware installed on this current (XP) computer and
I know that some of it isn't going to work in Windows 7. For those of
you who have already gone to Windows 7 though, which freeware that you
were using in XP do you miss the most because it won't work in Windows
7, and what were you able to find to either replace it or or as a near
replacement?

TIA

Not having Windows 7 either, but like you John, I am collecting info.

Here is a link that may come in handy.

My most used freeware works in Win7.
Found a work around to eliminate that pesky security pop-up on
frequently used tools such as CCleaner and a search tool 'Everything'
Instructions at :

A tool for the monitor 'QuickGamma' has since been upgraded and I now
have it installed.

Faststone Image Viewer is slow to move files from the card to the hard
drive. Dialogue box will go white for a short time then it seems to
catch itself up and move all the files. It might be connected to the USB
action with the card reader since Faststone Screen Capture works as usual.

Otherwise since November 09 all the 'usual' are working very well.
