List of applications i use in Windows
While my home computer runs ArchLinux, and my personal laptop runs Ubuntu, my work laptop has Windows XP installed. Here’s the list of apps i’m using there (those that i installed, not part of the corporate applications). Not surprisingly, they a all free software.
Launchy - great launcher
HandBrake - video and audio encoder
Vim - ’nuff said
Firefox - you all know what is it
TortoiseCVS - convenient CVS frontend
7-Zip - archive manager
Synergy - kayboard and mouse sharing
Smplayer - media player
MyPhoneExplorer - SE mobile phone management
UsefulUtils Disks Studio - burner
InfraRecorder - burner
WinSCP - scp for windows
Putty - telnet/ssh/… u name it
Any other alternatives i should try?
I like CDBurnerXP for burning and Google Chrome for browsing. For media playing I use Microsoft’s Windows Media Player. I know it’s lame but there are advantages to getting used to Microsoft’s products - they’re available on any Windows installation (I use it to rip CDs to MP3 as well)
