This is my list

-> IrfanView and its plugins (freeimage viewer, I use it for quick resizing photos, batch image processing, batch renaming, conversion)
-> Photoshop6 or higher (i don't have to say why, my work depend on it)
-> EditPlus (best text editor i guess)
-> Ahead Nero (best CD/DVD writing software)
-> Advanced File Organizer (CD/hard disk cataloging tool, I use just to find files [10 times faster than WinXP searching feature])
-> WinAmp5 (just to listen music, MP9 is heavy)
-> WinZip 8.1 or 9 (very popular)

and others
