Favorite tool is Vietcong + FA, most important tool is notepad and Total Commander. Also Skype, qip (ICQ), Teamspeak3 :-) For editing - Paintshop with nVidia DDS plugin.
I could list a bunch of programs but I will list only what I use almost everyday
Games
VC only
no time to play other games, plus I don't want to anyway, I am a vc only boy
As I do not like W7 "at all", but my new hardware will not work with XP I am forced to run W7 64Bit ultimate
Also I will add before continuing with the list that what I have to with w7, Add VC and all my games plus some 32bit programs to D.E.P.
so they work otherwise they error with kernel errors.
