On OSX I'm digging Aperture.

Windows only but Handbrake is quite good too, if not as simple, and it works on Windows and Mac.

Depends on the system I guess but it did a dvd for me pretty quickly.

I'm learning how to use Microsoft Visio

I like it, it has cute lil pictures. I've been making pictures of my office with it.

I'll give Open Office a try on my next notebook. For now I will stick with MS Office.

eBay Desktop is a new favourite of mine.

The light desktop program allows you search ebay without buggering around with the site and has a much better design.

In addition to doing what ebay does and being prettier while it does it, it has auto complete on searches, a real time clock on auctions and real time rss feeds of your favourite sellers' new items or new matches for your favourite searches. I love it!







Uses Adobe Air, so it'll work on Mac and PC.

Oh Batman, by about a billion drop kicks to the face. I'm just trying to get all of Rom and ebay is my source. Even got the Power man and Iron Fist issue with Rom in it, aces!

DexposE2 is like Mac OS X's expose function but better and for windows.

There's been many a clone of the expose function but this one adds features like interactive previews, hot corners, multi-monitor support, and more.



There's a terrible quality video here of it in action on an EEE (mute the music):
