Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users?

pauljoyce asks: "I'm a Mac fan who is intrigued by the possibilities of Apple's Boot Camp software. Now that I have a chance to painlessly dip into the Windows world, what I'd like to ask you is, what Windows software amazes you? I want to build a list of unique, elegant, can't-do-without apps, so all us new Boot-Camp babies can finally experience some of the great innovation happening over on the Windows platform. I roughed in a quick blogpage to collect the info, and to house any useful discussions. It'll probably deteriorate into a flame war at some point, but hopefully I can get a few contributions to each category before then. Would those interested please chime in with their list of favorites?"

Mac, Windows, its all junk. Get a Palm Pilot and forget about it.

I don't think for one minute a regular Mac user is going to even take advantage of the Boot Camp software. This is really aimed at converting those who use Windows all the time, and now have an excuse to buy a cool Mac machine. You should have instead setup a site for first time Mac users - it would get a lot more attention.

I find that surprising. This might have been possible to do back ten or maybe 5 years ago, but these days you really can't accomplish anything on a mac as far as Video Editing, 3D or Graphic Design... unless you boot Windows that is.

Here's a quarter, kid. Go get yourself a real OS.

Tell me, out of curiosity--were you born a smug asshole, or did you have to work at it?
