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.

Hehe. Well, with #8 & #10, they're not part of the kernel. So I guess you can still consider them third party apps =D. With #9, Knoppix, I consider it third party since I use it as a tool for data recovery, migration, configuration, troubleshooting, etc. But that's just me =D
