[Mrkvonic]

Hi all,

Windows users rejoice! Linux users have had a new cool list of must-have programs - and now you do, too! This article lists 26 best Windows applications, by alphabetic order, one application per letter.

I hope you'll like it! I would appreciate your suggestions.

Hello is this your own website? Nice article! :)

I would like to ask some questions. What are so special about Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and SuperAntiSpyware? You seem to miss some great security products.

They work well, fast, have good detection rates - and actually clean what they find.

And yes, it's my website.

Cheers,

R

Returnil

Letter 'J' - Jarte

http://www.jarte.com/features.html

1. A free word processor based on the Microsoft WordPad word processing engine built into Windows.
2. A fast starting, easy to use word processor that expands well beyond the WordPad feature set.
3. A small, portable word processor whose documents are fully compatible with Word and WordPad.

Letter 'Q' - Quicktime Alternative

I second Returnil for letter 'R'

Edit: (Ex Windows XP user)

[Firebytes]

I would go along with Returnil for the "R" entry, great program.

For "C" I would say CCleaner and for "X" XnView.

I second CCleaner for letter 'C'.

[Pedro]

R : R (http://www.r-project.org/)
:)

Edit: along with RKWard (http://rkward.sourceforge.net/) or R Commander (http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/) or some other i'm not aware of.

No one mentions S: Sandboxie :)

[JRViejo]

CCleaner gets my vote as well.

Mrkvonic, in your sweet list of Windows programs, under Maintenance (http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/collection.html#mozTocId457820), you state problems with CCleaner version 1.34.407 (issue date October 19, 2006). The newest version is 2.21.940 (June 25, 2009) and perhaps it's time to take a second look, provided you warn people about the Yahoo toolbar option, which can be checked off prior to installation.

Probably because 'S' has already been allocated to SUPERAntiSpyware. I agree that Sandboxie would be a worthy alternative. It's a shame that each letter can only have a single nomination.

[LenC]

Two of my favorite and important programs begin with a T - Teamviewer and Truecrypt.

I think I have to declare it a tie;)

[the Tester]

Nice List.

I agree with the suggestion of CCleaner for "C".

Suggestion for "R"- Revo Unistaller.

Suggestion for "Q"- Quintessential Player.

X---xnview, another excellent picture viewer

Then I will replace Irfanview with Imgburn so that no application will fall into the same category.

[Rico]

How about Q = Quicken
" " C = Corel Draw or CCleaner

W for windows live?

[Mrkvonic]

Thank you for your suggestions, I'm gonna be busy for a while testing and updating and such. Keep them coming, keep them coming.

I didn't see any file managers

X = Xplorer2 Screenshots (http://www.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/xplorer2-lite-Screenshot-105128.html).

Not as extensive as Directory Opus, but it's W7 compatible plus they have a free Lite version.

[Arkham]

Nice list.
It's a pity Opera lost out to Open office for O:P

For R, I'd like to suggest Rivatuner.
