From: Bob Adkins on 5 Jul 2010 11:25 Most Essential (to you) Freeware Which of your Freeware programs would you miss the most? Which programs are you the most attached to or dependent on? Which have no real good Freeware alternatives, and its disappearance would change the way you work, or force you to go commercial? Here's mine: 1. Maxthon Browser 2. Comodo Internet Security 3. FastStone Viewer 4. ObjectDock 5. Cobian Backup 6. ImgBurn 7. OpenOffice 8. Free Download Manager 9. WordWeb 10. NetMeter 11. XMPlay 12. VectorNotes 13. Google Earth 14. Everything 15. ProgeCad Smart

I use these on XP SP3: 1 - VLC 2 - Winamp 3 - 7-zip 4 - XnView 5 - OpenOffice 6 - Notepad++ 7 - EssentialPIM portable 8 - Firefox (???? might swap, if it gets any more intrusive) 9 - Thunderbird 2 (ditto) 10 - Imgburn 11 - Emule 12 - uTorrent 13 - Kerio PF 215 14 - Erunt 15 - Avira (But could be AVG or Avast) 16 - Pidgin 17 - Universal Extractor 18 - Zsoft Uninstaller 19 - HxD 20 - A lot I use not very frequently, but are sometimes essential - sysinternals utilities, nir utilities, wireshark, nmap, Mydefrag, XP-antiSPY, double driver, Free Window Registry Repair 2.0, ..... I've probably forgotten dozens, and I use linux now more than half of my time ....
