- PicaView 2.0 (Old but really great for previewing multiple images and converting images with a right-click) * Does not work on Windows 7 64-bit. XnView Shell Extension or NConvert with a plugin for the Windows Shell may be a replacement.
- PDF-XChange Viewer 64-bit (fastest and most stable one out there + allows basic editing)
- I find I like to Uncheck add in for browsers (makes things more stable)
- PDF Creators
- PrimoPDF (Note this is still not as good as Adobe's PDF creator. You might want to verify the output on an Adobe Reader first). However, it is the only free product so far that passes the printing of a Word Document with an embedded Visio diagram test.
- VLC Media Player - play DVDs and almost any video format
- Microsoft Office - Really I tried alternatives but this is the de facto standard for work.
- Microsoft Visio Professional - Again the best drawing tool out there.
- Can't stand using the Lotus Notes client - And of course IBM makes it next to impossible to download http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/damo/ and http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21161211 and http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nflsblog.nsf/dx/latest-damo-release?opendocument&comments
- Resize Browser Window - Useful for consistent screenshots.
Manage Your Music
- TuneUp - Automatically fix songs and add album cover art based on song samples and TuneUp's database.
- http://www.discogs.com/ - If you can't find your album art on TuneUp use this.
