I'm getting my MacBook Pro in a few days (I FINALLY worked out the payment poo poo) and I wanted to know what some good programs I should get for my laptop are. Ge-err, Santa, or whatever the hell his name is now, gave me a really long list, but I lost the text document I saved it to, thanks to the stupid network failure wee had at work last night. So, fire away! They can be Windows apps or Mac apps, I'll be running both.

And I already know I need to get obvious stuff, like Firefox 3 and Photoshop.
VLC media player....
CCleaner ( i don't think it's for mac thought...)
VMware.
a vista image.
some useful apps imo:

Codec Pack (you pick your fav)
Media player (codec pack will give you mpc, MacOS will give you iTunes) if you need it.
PhotoShop
7-zip (or IZarc or WinRAR)
BT Client
Limewire (or equivalent)
VMWare Fusion
Antivirus and Personal Firewall (pick your fav. I recommend ESET or Zonealarm)
PeerGuardian 2
Partition Magic
PDF-Viewer (or your fave pdf client like Foxit, Adobe)
MS Office 2007/2008(I know Mac OS has it own office application suite, but can't beat the tide in this case)
Notepad++
CPU-Z
....
I'll update list as I think (and am not drowsy!! lol)
