While reading The Angry Technician Blog, I came across a post regarding what are your most launched applications in Windows. Now my Windows 7 virtual machine is undoubtedly a thing that I will blog about later as at this stage the apps I use are very much web based but I thought I would share what’s in the dock of my home machine.

Nothing special in this first lot I use Safari, Nat uses Firefox Except for when I need the web developer toolbar. Then there is iChat, Skype, Billings (which does the invoicing etc), the iWork and iLife suites, Pulpmotion which is kind of an offline Animoto, Marsedit (my blogging software), And Rapidweaver for websites.

Then we have Fetch (ftp client), Comic life, iCal, Photoshop, and Flash, Vector Designer and Pixelmator, Visualhub which I wish you could still buy but I got it ages ago, Time Machine, Toast, Cha Ching and Open Office.

Some apps that should be in here are textwrangler and now tweetie.

I guess this is only part of the story however as I actually launch most of my apps by using Command+space and then typing the first letter and hitting enter (this is a leftover of when I used Quicksilver on 10.4) I have yet to try Google Quick Search Box which is a development of this. But there you have some idea of what’s on my home Mac. Most surprising I guess is the amount of of paid shareware applications that I have accumulated that I never brought when I had a Windows machine.
