Windows Media Player 10
Realplayer 10
GAIM
Thunderbird
Quicktime
Netscape 7.2 (Main browser)
Firefox
Microsoft office 2003
OpenOffice 1.1.3
Virgin Pulse Manager
Hello
Picasa
SharpReader
SharpDevelop
Visual Studios .NET 2003 Enterprise Architect
Nero
Palm Desktop
Adobe Audition
Adobe Photoshop CS
PDF Creator
FileMaker Pro 7, one of my bring alongs from the Mac desktop that I love.
LimeWire
EditPad Pro
Emacs
DiVX Player
Java 1.5
Netbeans
Adobe Reader 6
Gimp 2
Google Desktop Search
7-Zip

I dont give details about AV or Firewall protection, sorry.

As for themeing I use Windows XP Pro SP 2 with the Royale MCE theme and I use the Sun Java Desktop System as an alternative desktop. I use Debian Linux for my Fileserver and I have a Windows Server 2003 server for game serving, print server and eventually a full-time home web server
