What's Installed On Your System?

Recommended Posts

I'm having a study about uncopyrighted and copyrighted software usage.I'm writing this to ask all members of Xisto about what you have on your computer. In some country, people prefer using uncopyrighted software. In your reply, please include

 

1.List of copyrighted software that you have+ price for each.

 

2.The total value of uncopyrighted software on your system(if there's any)(you DON'T need to list the name of them)

 

3.Percent of copyrighted software that you use (based on value, not number).

Maaaaan, I'm not on my own computer right now, but I don't think I could help you out much regardless. Firstly, I don't know the price of half the software I've boughten over the years anymore, I could estimate but it'd probably all just be $50 a pop guesses. Also, if someone were to have illegal software, they probably wouldn't have gone out to check the price beforehand, especially on pricer items like photoshop which is known as a fairly pirated piece of software. I'll still take a look once I'm back on my own system and throw a list together if I remember, but I have a feeling some people such as myself won't be able to give you accurate info :| Unless I'm just dumb and everyone memorizes he prices of all their software except for me heh

Well, I am from Lithuania and not much home users buys the software legally when they can easily download it through an lan ftp or dc++ etc. but now the laws and stuff, almost all the offices and stuff needs to use legal software.. or to risk.. anyway, here is what I got:MS Windows XP ProFree:Opera, FirefoxThunderbird,X-Chat 2Gaim, SkypeGimpFree PascalPHP DesignerNotepad 2VLCQuintessential Media PlayerFilezillaD-ToolsWAMP ServerMySQL AdministratorOpen Office 2PuttyClamWin Anti VirusSpy Bot Search and DestroyAdAwareWinUAEAdobe ReaderGoogle TalkGoogle EarthCelestiaCHMOD-Winand many more tools I rarely use, so I won't even list them.So yeah, I like to use Open Source and Freeware software, I have some Shareware which license I think I am prohibiting and I use Nero which I did not buy and some Games, but that is all, so to confess I never paid for Software on Windows, I am a long time Linux user.

Well like most people on here I have an extensive list which would take me quite a while to post.But on my paid software list I would have to say that one of my favorites is photoshop elements. I got it in a bundle when I bought a new scanner, which given the price of a scanner it was a great deal. Since I'm not a graphic designer it's a great tool. It does everything I need it to.Some of my other free ones that I frequently include:Audio Archive Compressor (love it)FirefoxWSFTP (so old that it was free when I got it.)Winzip (so old that it was free when I got it.)DVD DecrypterFor several years I paid for all the adobe apps for video and photo editing. But the cost of keeping the software current kept getting higher and higher. So the versions I have at the moment I can honestly say are not licensed.MS Office Professional I also received free as I knew someone who worked for a company that was a partner to MS. They were able to pick up copies pretty cheap. (legal versions.) I believe it was $10 or $30 - given the actual cost of the program I consider what I got it for to be free.Excell is one of my most used apps.

This is going to be a very short list.Licensed and legal:Windows XP Pro (main pc)Windows Vista Home Premium (Laptop)Xilinx ISEMultisim 2001ModelsimI use a lot of freeware applications, but I'm not going to list them because I have too many of them :P . I only have like 5% of software for which I have to pay and 50% of that isn't legal (I'm not realy proud on that fact, but as a student I just can't afford everything I need/want)

I would understand especially when you are a student. Not that I'm encouraging not buying software, but think about it. There's so much freeware around and of course open source application. Sourceforge is one of the website I usually visit. And here are the list of software in my computer.

Microsoft XP OEM
FileZilla
FireFox
ThunderBird
Xammp
Open Office
7-Zip
GIMP
Active Virus Shield
Putty
Google Talk
Itune - all time favourite
And somemore from sourceForge.. :P

So you can see, most of my application are free. :P
Cheers
