Windows Media Components for QuickTime
MacFUSE + sshfs
iTuneMyWalkman
AppleJack
MacPorts
Text Wrangler
Desktop Manager
Firefox (Safari's OK, but Firefox is better.)
Red Pill
Bombich Software (If you manage/deploy Macs)
StartupSound.prefPane

I wouldn't say any of them are essential. What you may consider essential someone else may consider a waste of disk space.

David,

from reading this/your other posts. Would I be correct in saying you are now a majority mac OS X user for your main desktop function ?

[DR]

I am 100% using it as my main work machine.

I've not got a Windows machine on my desk at all now

ok, I only ask as its nice to guage someones feedback / comments from a known base line.

eg: - my mac use is very limited to specific reasons, so me ranting and raving over it is different to you ranting and raving over it.

Plus its nice to hear from a perspective of someone who's swapped core OS's.

I've just done a post about things I do and don't like

I'm sure I will have a Windows PC again one day but so far this thing really does scream.

A friend of mine from Intel got one at the same time as me, and he swore it wouldn't replace his main rig (for Email/MSN/'net etc....) and... well that changed this weekend.

What are you using bootcamp for ?

Welcome to the dark side chap

Not set it up yet - for one reason - I want to make OSX work.

I am thinking if I end up with a Windows rig one day - it will be a seperate PC.
