Firebird
Amaya - Official W3C Browser
HotJava - Pure Java Browser

Office Applications:
OpenOffice - echomadman

General:
TheOpenCD - Lots of stuff, but app versions are *slightly* out of date
GNU Win II - lots more apps then OpenCD but again, slightly out of date re:versions

Please suggest more catagories and programs that you've found useful or just plain different. Windows versions of *n*x apps are fine too.

I'll merge this into the Apps, Hacks, Fixes, Links, etc sticky later.

echomadman

its probably in the Apps, Hacks, Fixes, Links, etc thread but openoffice 1.1 is an excellent free alternative to M$ Office.

Couple more mail clients:- (foxmail is my favorite and popcorn fits on a floppy and thus handy if you are moving around and don't want to use webmail).

Foxmail 2.3MB
Eudora 6.4MB
Popcorn 184KB

Couple more small, fast functional browsers:- (OB1 will also run off a floppy and can be a lifesaver for downloading stuff if your normal browser breaks down for some reason).

Kmeleon

That's tje kind of stuff that I'd like to see more of, small and functional apps. V. handy for using in college/anywhere with roaming profiles and network drives with limited space.

EditPlus - as an alternative to a lot of text editors

I use poppeeper to monitor all my email addresses (5 of them, and yes there are good reasons for that) ... very handy for keeping track of them all.... runs in the taskbar and a small 621K installation file

Irfanview 822K.
Great Image viewer, and handy for Browsing, or batch renames.

All Plugins come in a single seperate download. Will do Movies too.

Aye, IrfanView rocks.

Wget For Windows - nevermind those other download/leeching apps. This is the daddy.

Also, anyone know of any freeware apps for defragmenting your hard drive?

One thing I've found quite handy is Onlineye.
Very handy program for viewing/recording/alerting you to your bandwidth usage plus a good few other features.
Can also be remotely viewed from another PC if setup in server mode. Afaik it's free/shareware.
