Hmm , there are enough free software programs to fill your needs for a lot of programs.
GIMP in stead of Photoshop / Paint Shop Pro Openoffice in stead of microsoft office Firefox in stead of internet explorer (mmh well.. IE is free..) Thunderbird in stead of Microsoft Outlouk Lots more :
ha ha
 once again, adobe acrobat reader... probably the most freebie needed once you are running your computer..claim me if you doubted, no obj!!
Yes Florisjuh has got it exactly right apart from the hmm after firefox, you may also wish to try Netscape..thats made by mizilla also...gimp 2.0 is very good
In my opinion there are a few programs/browser plug-ins you need for your computer.
1. Sun Java 2. Flash Player 3. Shockwave Player 4. Adobe Acrobat Reader 5. Spybot Search and Destroy 6. Quicktime Player 7. Firefox Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head I'm sure there are more. Also the plug-ins I listed are required for veiwing alot of internet media so you should get them.
What do you need on your computer, and it has to be free....
MSN Messenger Maybe....Linux Firefox Total commander --->ftp issues Azereus-->bittorent Winamp-->mp3 BSPlayer-->divx/xvid player FFDshow-->divx/xvid codec AC3Filter-->AC3 plugin TSW Webcoder -->HTML maker Mine favorite
So many to chose from, so I'll just add on to those that have already been posted:
For FTP things I like Filezilla I use PasswordSafe to store my passwords. For older computers Firefox is way too big & heavy, so there you can (if you don't want to use IE), use K-Meleon, or the IE wrapper app called Maxthon. I use AVG anti-virus, which is free, and so are the updates. And I use a free version of Tiny Personal Firewall as my firewall. Also, there are loads of neat little apps on TinyApps. MICROSOFT ANTISPY get it here here ZONE ALARM get ithere AVG7 antivirus get it here KNOPPIX..... ( an entire operating system based on linux that runs from disk no install with open office built in and mozilla ) get it here 716mb so on dialup forget it but for an entire operating system thats free and can be used without installation just set to boot cdrom first and boot from the disk it installs to ram so when you reboot change back to boot hd and its gone OPEN OFFICE for most operating systems (windows/linux/mac etc) full freeware office pack get it here CDburnerXP freeware cd burning software like NERO get it here DVDdecrypter for DVD ripping and burning (using iso mode you need nero installed) get it here BURNATONCE for cd/dvd burning get it here GIMP freeware image editing tool as used by theme creators here .. get it here hmmmmm cannot think of anymore at the minute but theres loads out there these are just a few
There's loads of programs out there for just about anything, and most of the programs I use are already listed on here, but heres a list:
Azureus For BitTorrent downloads Spyware Blaster To prevent spyware from being installed onto your computer AVG Anti-Virus For an A-V program Quintessential CD Player [QCD Player] as an alternate media player. I prefer this program over all the others, becase it uses a very low amount of ram. Daemon Tools To create back-up ISO's of your CD's and DVD's
What about MSN Messenger 7? It's great.
Umm, Firefox for sure. I also like Thunderbird better then Outlook too. Latest Entries

QUOTE(-Sky- @ Sep 20 2008, 03:15 PM)  Microsoft Office 2000 Firefox 3 Internet Explorer 8 (incase Firefox crashes and doesn't load) Photoshop CS3 ImageReady Windows Media Player -Sky You might want to double check your math there. You see he asked for free applications, and last time I checked the prices of Photoshop and Microsoft office are greater than free. QUOTE(willielwgg @ Nov 3 2008, 06:37 PM) I could really use a Photoshop like picture editor for my Mac. CS2 is the only one that works, and I don't have the mney for it. You could check out Gimp. It's a free alternative, and it can do everything photoshop amateurs can do in photoshop. There are plenty of features that photoshop has that Gimp doesn't, but those features aren't known by the average user.
I could really use a Photoshop like picture editor for my Mac. CS2 is the only one that works, and I don't have the mney for it. I have to get other people do do all my graphics, whether it's a banner or a color change.
Seeing as I have Office, I don't need it, but I would need a free type of it if I didn't get it for so cheap.
