What are your Favourite Programs?

[doesn't matter]

Can we please remain on the topic of our favourite programs? Thanks.

How was I going off topic? 3 flavors of programs. I could talk about Linux and remain on topic. Linux is a Program, docx is a Program, Jpeg is a Program, Photoshop is a Program, etc everything in the computer is a Program even virus and worms are Programs.

Anyway. I really like Open Office though. Firefox is my Favorite Program as I use it the most.

I've used Photoshop and Gimp.

Gimp is much easier to use but I don't use it much.

S-Tails, this is a thread for naming off your most used programs, not discussing them.

Any way I've been favoring Handbrake, Quicktime, iWork trial, photoshop, and VMware Fusion lately.

Photoshop CS2
The rest of the Adobe CS2 suite -- mostly Illustrator, InDesign, Bridge, Acrobat, and Dreamweaver
Outlook Express
Windows Media Player
Sony Vegas
Microsoft Works
Wordpad
Windows Live (MSN) Messenger
Skype

I bet 80% of everyone who says Photoshop in this thread has a pirated copy.

I'm not in the eighty percent either. :]

Cause you're only meant to state your favourite programs, geh.

docx and jpeg are file types, just so you know. Now don't go off topic anymore.

I know. I'm sorry.

My favorite Data is PNG. My favorite Application is firefox. My favorite OS is Linux.

Ask anyone in Computers and they will say those are programs but I'm going now.

Hm... Firefox is usually the first thing I start when my computer boots, along with Exaile for music. I use OpenOffice for all the office-y things I do, and the GIMP for graphics work (possibly the most awesome program ever?). Kaffeine is my general media player (videos and DVDs).

Pidgin, Emesene and XChat handle all the IM networks I use, as well as Skype for video calls.

X-Moto, AssaultCube, Nexuiz, Alien Arena and Tremulous are the games I play most.

K3B gets a special mention as the best CD/DVD burning software in the world.

Compiz fusion and Avant Window Navigator (look on youtube for examples) provide eye-candy. Very important. ;)

EDIT: Evidently we're not meant to be discussing these programs, but I feel compelled to mention (in case people were wondering and didn't know, although I see that the topic has been brought up already) that all of these programs are FLOSS (Free (free as in beer) and Libre (free as in speech) Open Source Software), so I advise everyone to check them out, 'cause they don't cost a thing (although some of these are linux-only).

I particularly recommend that anyone not prepared to spend hundreds of pounds on proprietary software check out the GIMP and OpenOffice. Also, the games I listed are fantastic (IMHO), so take a look!

That's the hard sell over then, as it were. ;)

LimeWire, for music and small videos.
Coral Draw 13, for school projects and putting together basic signatures.
MSN, obvious reasons.

That's about it. I don't know how to use much else on the computer other than teh intarwebz. =/
