I fear that this thread will get ignored, but I'll give it a shot.

What software do you use for the following:

OS
Browser
Video player
Audio player
Image editing
Photo editing
Image viewing
Torrent client
Video Editor
Office tools
Anti-virus?

In my case it's

Windows 7
Firefox
Media Player Classic
Foobar2000
MS Paint
Gimp
Windows Photo Viewer (yeah, I know. :roll: I used to use Picasa and Irfan View, but I haven't yet reinstalled them on the new OS) Fast Stone
uTorrent
Windows Movie Maker (unfortunately, there's a severe lack of decent freeware video editors)
Openoffice.org
Avast! & Microsoft Security Essentials. Obviously, I use Common Sense 2010 as well. :-D

So, I've just installed faststone image viewer.

It seems to work quite well, and it has the main thing that is missing from the default windows photo viewer: animated gif support.

Srsly, is it so hard for MS to support gifs? With Windows 7, they managed to partially fix WMP's problem of not supporting numerous common codecs out of the box, but they still can't seem to get rid of this problem.

I'm going to use this as my default image viewer.

I find that this is an effective way to guard against viruses as well. I usually use it when I have sticky keys turned on :-D
 
OS

I dual-boot Windows XP and a Linux distribution called Puppy

Browser

XP - Google Chrome; Linux - Firefox. Chrome for performance on the slow XP partition.

Video player / Audio Player

VLC. Suits all my needs; works well with corrupted (cough - torrented - cough) files.

Image editing / Photo editing

teh GIMP

Torrent client

Micro-torrent

Video Editor

VirtualDub. I like it.

Office tools

Some Open Office; some Abiword. I use Abiword as the default .doc editor, because it's lightning fast.

Anti-virus?

BitDefender Gamesafe on the gaming machine, Avast free on the laptop (XP partition) and nothing on the Linux system, as it all runs from CD.
