Okay, this tagging thing is starting to get out of control but it seems polite to reply so here are my kwik answers to the latest tag from Steven @ Winextra on software I use following these rules

• name at least 5 programs (web or standalone) that you love that go against the mainstream ( optional - reason why - if possible)
• name at least 5 programs that you dislike; OSes not included, (optional - reason why - if possible)
• tag at least 5 other people - if possible try to include all the OSes (optional - reason why)

Love

• IE7 - that's against the mainstream now right?
• Vista - ditto
• Live Messenger - Skype is mainstream I assume?
• FolderShare - acquired by MS, largely unknown and very cool
• Photoshop - not that it's not mainstream but around here Expression is mainstream

Dislike

• Real Player - always have, always will. Simply because of the way they take over your machine
• LinkedIn - it sends friendly reminder automatically. I never wanted to join thanks so please stop that. Now
• Most online banking sites. Just too hard to use!
• Any website that automatically plays music to me. That's SO helpful when I'm sneakysurfin during a meeting!
• Windows ME (sorry to break the rules)
