Updated Windows Application Selection
I referenced my post on Windows Application Selections, and I noticed that I use some different stuff nowadays.
For example, I now use a wonderful program called PSPad for a text editor. It wraps some great functionality into a tight package.
There's also the OUTSTANDING desktop search application called Copernic Desktop Search. When I passed this link to my IT co-worker, I accompanied it with the following statement: "This is going to make you crap your pants." He heartily agreed. In a comparitive review, this was the pick of the litter.
The other addition I can place before you is Xfire. Xfire is a gamers IM client. It allows you to see what your gaming buddies are playing, and supports over 260 different games. In fact, in over 100 of those you can actually join them in the game, and join them in the voice chat server they're using. It's revolutionized online gaming. In fact, you can also view "Friend of Friends" - my network is over 1000 strong right now.
