Here is a list of extremely useful software for any college student stuck in the Windows world. This post was inspired by the Crucial Mac Software page .
Microsoft Office 2003: OpenOffice.org is always an option when money is missing, however there are always compatibility problems between the two, and OOO will often have printing problems as well.
Paint.net: A program featured on Lifehacker, Paint.net is a great free alternative to Photoshop for any money-missing college student.
Trillian: A multi-protocol chat client supporting tabbed chatting and their website offers tons of skins for use with the client as well. Great way to save space by not having to install Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, MSN Messenger and use all of them at once.
DVDDecrypter: This program is great for any college student wanting to make backups of their hard earned DVD movies. Accompanied with DVDShrink, backing up your DVDs is easier than ever.
DVDShrink: This program takes that large DVD video you just ripped and compresses it to fit on more affordable 4GB DVDs.
Azureus: This is a wonderful bittorrent client that runs well on Windows and has a great looking interface as well.
myTunes: Living in the dorms is a wonderful way to download music off of other users' iTunes folders. myTunes helps you achieve just that.
VLC Media Player: This program will play any video file you put up to it. I use it for every video I ever watch anymore.
I hastily put this list together, so if anyone can think of any, please feel free to comment them in and I will update the post whenever any new ones are added.
