Back to Windows!!

I am doing databasing at Uni this semester and I have to use Microsoft Access so I have returned to the Windows world for a while.





But! I have installed as much open source software as I can mainly from the Open Source CD.
I am using:

• Oxygen Open Office Professional which has heaps of extra templates etc.
• NVU for web development (would prefer Quanta but nada for Windows)
• Emule for downloads
• Gimp for image manipulation
• Audacity for sound recording
• Azureus for torrents
• Filezilla for FTP transfers
• Gaim for messaging
• Firefox of course for web browsing
• Inkscape for illustration
• Scribus for desktop publishing
• Blender for 3D work
• 7Z for archiving

I do have a few proprietory programs, apart from those included within Windows OS, as there are no open source options for Windows that I know of at this point and they include:

• Microsoft Access (but none of the other programs in Microsoft Office)
• PowerTab because it is the only place I have been able to find the Edgar Cruz Bohemian Rhapsody TAB (See this weeks vids)
  
• Adobe Captivate (for authoring as I do a fair bit of training)
• AVG, Adaware and Spybot for virus protection etc
  
• IconPackager and Bootskin (to disguise I am using Windows at least a little bit!)

That is about it.
