As Chris Murtland said, Firefox has become practically an operating system for me, and truth be told my two most frequently used apps are Gmail and Google Reader. Aside from those:

1) OneNote 2007
2) Word 2003 (I write for a living so there is absolutely no getting around this one. Then again, I think Word 2003 is pretty good.)
3) Notepad++ (I love text editors and have tried—and bought—all the major ones, UltraEdit etc., but find that for the perfect combination of clarity and functionality the freeware Notepad++ is the one I invoke most often.)
4) XnView (This is an excellent freeware image organizing and presentation tool that resides both on my desktop and on a portable USB drive.)
5) NoteMap (though I plan to give MaxThink a spin in ‘08)

Then there are the ones I just like playing with: ConnectedText, BrainStorm, etc.
