Lifehacker has an excellent list of 50 free applications that are great. While I have not used all of these applications, I can personally vouch for about 75% of them.
I must admit that I have no idea how "turds" like iTunes and Winamp made the list, but I digress...
Lifehacker: 50 Free Apps We're Most Thankful For
Applications that I use (the order is from Lifehacker):
1. Dropbox
2. VLC (Video Lan Client)
3. Google Chrome
4. Firefox
5. Opera
6. Google Apps
8. CCleaner
9. uTorrent
12. Open Office
13. Skype
14. Evernote
16. KeePass
18. 7zip
20. Microsoft Security Essentials
23. FileZilla
25. Handbrake
27. Audacity
28. Paint.NET
30. Thunderbird
31. Foobar2000
32. Pidgin
37. Launchy
48. TeraCopy
50. MediaMonkey
Some surprises from the list:
- Chrome is listed higher than Firefox
- Opera is mentioned at all - it's a great browser, but it's in a crowded market
- MediaMonkey is low - it should certainly be higher than iTunes
- Revo Uninstall didn't make the list
Enjoy some free Apps!
