   Can we have a "essential software" type thread? (again?)
  I'm sure this must have been done before, hopefully not too recently. If it has, a simple link to the thread and a slap in the face for not searching well enough will be enough to keep me quiet.The thing is, I'm seriously considering putting my Linux partition to rest and starting to use Windows. I'm not interested in discussing OS differences so let's not get into why. My problem is that after using Linux for so many years, I've pretty much forgotten which programs to look for.Would anyone care to share? Free would be best! Post links as well if it's not too much trouble ;)EDIT: I'm a computer science student, but just generally useful software would be great.   
  Consider yourself slapped.   ;  Ah hell :Thanks jpetrie
