OSNews, Generic OSes I find myself using a number of OSes daily but for the OSes I use most, I have some favorite third party applications that I can't live without. Here are my application lists for Windows, Unix/Linux, Mac OS X and BeOS; applications I always download and install after a clean OS installation. Please tell us about your favorite third party apps you use on different OSes by using the provided comment section.

I never really installed any 3rd party stuff in Mac OS X I just use whatever comes with it and install Microsoft Office.

Linux, I just use whatever comes with RedHat and that works for me, but of course...
