-Google Chrome it's fresh out of beta, so it can be a little buggy at times, but it's pretty darn fast and I like the streamlined feel it has, plus the ability to create application shortcuts makes using Docs and Gmail even more convenient. Unfortunately, it's not quite as functional in some aspects as Firefox, so I still use that as well.

-GIMP I actually use this in conjunction with Photoshop, since this I can run portably and there are a few tasks I can't seem to do with PS, and vice versa

-Google Docs Web based office suite. Not as functional as Office or OpenOffice (which I also use), but it's much more streamlined, which I like, plus its being online has saved my skin at school more than a couple of times

-Gmail nice web based email app that I've grown to like much more than my old Thunderbird setup

-Google Reader very convenient way of keeping up with any kind of news available through RSS. I've even been using this for our teams news, which is kind of redundant I guess, since I'm in charge of that...

-Launchy an application launcher that can be extended to do a number of other tasks, such as search Google, launch any websites you set, basic math, and anything else you can download for it

-Display Fusion a wallpaper manager for multi screen setups, lets you set up wallpapers on both screens however you want, instead of dealing with the limits Windows imposes. There's a pro version, which costs money, but the extra features aren't anything worth paying for

-Rainmeter a desktop customization program that lets you put anything on your desktop you can come up with, limited only by your programming skill or what you can find online. I personally use it to display a clock, todo list, and system usage

-Keepass an excellent password manager, compatible with all browsers, since it's an independent program. It can also be run portably, and generates more secure passwords, so you're no longer limited by what you can remember. Works with anything that uses a text box to enter login info, and can be fully automated so it works with a simple, custom keystroke
