What's Installed On Your System?

I'm having a study about uncopyrighted and copyrighted software usage.I'm writing this to ask all members of Astahost about what you have on your computer. In some country, people prefer using uncopyrighted software. In your reply, please include 1.List of copyrighted software that you have+ price for each. 2.The total value of uncopyrighted software on your system(if there's any)(you DON'T need to list the name of them) 3.Percent of copyrighted software that you use (based on value, not number).

Maaaaan, I'm not on my own computer right now, but I don't think I could help you out much regardless. Firstly, I don't know the price of half the software I've boughten over the years anymore, I could estimate but it'd probably all just be $50 a pop guesses. Also, if someone were to have illegal software, they probably wouldn't have gone out to check the price beforehand, especially on pricer items like photoshop which is known as a fairly pirated piece of software. I'll still take a look once I'm back on my own system and throw a list together if I remember, but I have a feeling some people such as myself won't be able to give you accurate info :| Unless I'm just dumb and everyone memorizes he prices of all their software except for me heh

Quite the same situation here in Bosnia and Hercegovina. Any software you can by for about 1$, if you pay more you are just recommended yourself as fool.

Well like most people on here I have an extensive list which would take me quite a while to post.

But on my paid software list I would have to say that one of my favorites is photoshop elements. I got it in a bundle when I bought a new scanner, which given the price of a scanner it was a great deal. Since I'm not a graphic designer it's a great tool. It does everything I need it to.

Some of my other free ones that I frequently include:

Audio Archive Compressor (love it)
Firefox
WSFTP (so old that it was free when I got it.)
Winzip (so old that it was free when I got it.)
DVD Decrypter

For several years I paid for all the adobe apps for video and photo editing. But the cost of keeping the software current kept getting higher and higher. So the versions I have at the moment I can honestly say are not licensed.

MS Office Professional I also received free as I knew someone who worked for a company that was a partner to MS. They were able to pick up copies pretty cheap. (legal versions.) I believe it was $10 or $30 - given the actual cost of the program I consider what I got it for to be free.

Excell is one of my most used apps.
