Firefox is done, going to install iTunes of course and AVG.
Photoshop I will install when I feel virus-protected enough to torrent it.

Winamp (I prefer it over iTunes, and it's also ipod-compatible)
Office (definitely)
VLC
Real Player (even though VLC can play real media, real player plays them smoother)
CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a pretty good tool to clean out temp/unused files -- http://www.ccleaner.com/ -- recommended
Adobe Reader - pdf format
Security:
I think having AVG and ZoneAlarm is quite enough , so when you get them, you can
Others/Productivity:
Launchy - http://www.launchy.net/ -- Program launcher - using keyboard
Rainlender - http://www.rainlenda...t/cms/index.php - a pretty calender on the desktop, good for productivity
