Preferred software

[Naga]

This just came up after a discussion of browsers; what software do you use for different things? Y'know, browser, media player, antivirus, so on.

I use Windows Media player 11 for my media player, Internet Explorer 7 for my browser, AVG Free Edition for antivirus, and Spybot S&D for the antispyware.

I tend to use MS software, more than anything else; as seen with my choice of media palyer and browser, as well MS Office XP/2002, MSN messenger, and so on.

I use Windows XP SP2, Home Edition. Networking features are pretty limited compared to Pro, but I make do with what I've got and use Real VNC to remote control over this small network of mine.

So, what do you use?

 

[SRB2-Playah]

I use Windows Media player 11 for my media player, Internet Explorer 7 for my browser, AVG Free Edition for antivirus, and Spybot S&D for the antispyware.

I use all those exact same programs...
'Cept, I haven't updated WMP for ever. I don't even know what version I use now...

For chatting, I use Skype. And that actually isn't used for chatting. More like for when me, mom and/or dad play WoW together.

My operating system is Windows XP Media Center edition.
I have no idea how it compares to like, other editions. As I have never tried them.

Media Player: Winamp - I used to use Windows Media Player until I learned Winamp is freeware. Yes, freeware. Not only do I live in a cave, I live under a rock not even knowing I'm in a cave.

Internet Browser: Firefox 2.0. Spellcheck and tabs are convenient, especially when working with the wiki.

Antivirus: AVG.

Okay, I'll quote this, since there's no real change in to what I use.

I myself use Windows Media Player (No idea which version) as a media player.
IE (No idea which version, the one with tabs that looks like they tried to emulate Firefox) as a browser.
mIRC for IRC.
Windows Live Messenger as my preffered IM thingy.
Windows XP Home as an Operating System.
Norton Antivirus for... antivirus.
And a combination of MS Paint, and Photofilter (Don't be suprised if you've never heard of it) for image editing.

[Vash]

IE (No idea which version, the one with tabs that looks like they tried to emulate Firefox) as a browser.

That's IE 7.

[Torgo]

OS: Windows XP Home Edition

Media Player: Winamp or Windows media player 11 - I mostly use Winamp now. For some reason I also thought Winamp was shareware for a long time.

Internet Browser: Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 7 - I use Firefox for almost every internet stuff I need to do. I only have IE7 for updating windows <_<.

Email Client - Thunderbird

Virus Scanners - McAffe and Norton - McAffe I use for my laptop, Norton for my desktop.

Spyware - McAffe and Spy Sweeper - Even though I have to pay for Spy Sweeper, its worth the money IMO.

Image Editing - Gimp 2.2 - Yes, its confusing, but I prefer it to Photoshop, and its free to boot. It helps that I took a course of digital image editing to help the learning curve.

Image Capturing - Print Screen, it comes with the keyboard, so why use a program to do something a keyboard can already do? <_<

Sound Editing - Cool Edit 2000 and Audacity - I mostly use Cool Edit for any serious sound editing. I just have Audacity for my laptop for quick editing stuff.

Chatting - Chatzilla and AIM - I think Chatzilla is good, it hasn't given me too much problems. I really don't know why I have AIM, I don't use it too often.
