the following is my most frequent used application:

1. Ms excel
2. Ms word
3. Adobe golive
4. cyber link power DVD
5. Peachtree accounting 2005 (i am an accountant)
6. Opera 9
7. TVU player (watch online TV)
8. Foorbar 2000 to listen to music
9. msn messager
10. Kaspersky antivirus (i wont online without it)
11. Symantec win fax pro

MS Office 2004 for Mac
Safari
Blender 3D
iMovie
Quicktime Pro
Final Cut pro
Photoshop CS
iTunes
DVD Studio Pro
Effects Lab pro

iMovie is one of the handiest tools I have. That's my default DV capture application. Seems to read my capture box or any DV camera I plug into the firewire port. From there I can make basic edits, cut long scenes into clips and export to working formats in FCP.

The funnest application to use is Effects Lab pro. It's a cheaper (and I think) easier to use DV FX application that does some really good work. Especially if your doing a lot of muzzle flashes or cannon animations.

This is easy for me. My used programs are used a lot, and my unused ones are NEVER used.

1. Firefox- Use this daily, several hours a day. Essential.

2. Photoshop CS2- invaluable for the graphics work that I do. and to think I used to use Paint

3. Audacity- great for recording demos for my band. The longer you work with it, the better it sounds.

4. OpenOffice- amazing reproduction of Office. use it for school all the time.

5. iTunes- use this a lot too.

That's about it. My computer's not really full of much except 1300+ mp3 files. haha

Heh - why not - I can throw mine also ... so it is...

1) VIM - yes VIM ...
2) LaTeX
3) GnuPlot
4) Erlang Virtual Machine
5) Wings3D
6) XMMS
7) Gaim
8) Firefox
9) Azureus (only when new Linux cames out - Slackware 11 is close )
10) Blender

and this is mostly all I use - I can't remember other sotware except for basic system tools like OpenBox (Windows Manager) or SLiM (Login Manager) etc...

oh, trust me, its a loooong list, but I could say the most time I use:
Photoshop
Cinema 4D
Reason

As finaldesign, there are plenty, but I suppose that:

- Photoshop CS2
- Miranda 0.5
- Mozilla Firefox 2
- Winamp 5.2
- ObjectDock 1.2 Plus
- Limewire PRO

are 'TEH PWNZ' here.
There's also Notepad and Calculator that I use *a lot*, but since they don't count on this thread...

I believe my most used software would probably be my FIREFOX browser, I wonder if this would even be considered as a software. Well, Ill just assume that it is, but anyways, I use this primary on every start up of my computer. Next would probably my winamp player, I use that to listen to music while I browse the world wide web.

THe software that I consistentnly use for designing purposes would be adobe photoshop. This is probably my most used software compared to macromedia dreamweaver, macromedia flash, and even my 3D modeler program, softimage XSI. I use adobe for the shell of all my designs, I basically generate my ideas for web or graphic design on adobe before I start to implement the design in flash or dreamweaver.

In rare instances I would actually use adobe to create a rub sketch of my character model for a 3D program. I probably also use Illustrator, for the sketching, but I use the filters of photoshop consistently to get my details out. The primary use that I need photoshop for when creating a 3D model is the ability to generate my texture for the 3D model. Photoshop helps me build a nice texture with the help of its filters.

the next software that I also use ever so often would be limewire pro. This program I sometimes us to download music or whatever I cant find on the web, but primarily used for downloading music. Moreover, I use notepad even for transfering text from the web to microsoft word, because note pad is the best software to use when you are not trying to pick up the html code when you copy text.

I believe that is all the software that I use probably daily, and consistently. Most useful programs for my interests and my job related field.
