Well I was using Mozilla only (don't remember last time IE was my main web browser )but right now I switched to chrome and, I don't know why, it seems to work better. I also have Winamp, AVG Antivirus, DivX, SopCasst, TvAnts etc. But these are only small programs and without some of them, you would not be able to have access to certain options (like watching NBA games on SopCast and TvAnts:) ) but I still use Windows and Office for ma main work on the computer.

The same goes with me pretty much, Ik still use Windows and MS Office. I dont think I will switch to oss/fs for these kind of software.

I probably use OS programs but I don't even know if they are or not.
Like Martin, I used Google Picasa but I didn't know it was an OS Program. It's just that it's really easy to use, you can edit pictures, share your pictures with the others and it's totally free. You can download it on Internet without any fee.

Reading everyone's post, I have to say I agree with the VLC users lke Naomi. I use VLC instead of windows media because it supports different types of files. Windows media player does not give you the luxury of using lots of different formats. If you haven't tried VLC, check it out. Other than being a VLC user, I like Bartek stick to pragrams like Windows & Office!

As long as I can find an OSS/FS software, I will stay with it.
Below is a free software website I visit most frequently and of course it's all in Chinese. But I think you can use google to translate it (such a wonderful FS). Smile
