Portable Apps http://portableapps.com/ Though not techincally an application within itself (unless you count the suite), this site contains portable versions (in other words, versions you can run from a jump drive/external HDD/iPod/Whatever you want) of a lot of the software mentioned in this thread as well as many others. Perfect if you find yourself having to use different computers constantly where you don't have "your" apps installed.
I wonder. Is there anything like a portable C/C++ compiler? Or any other languages?
You can install Dev-C++ to a flash drive. Or, you can install it on a hard drive, and then move it to a flash drive. I've done it. Or, if you want strict command line, you can get gcw which is gcc for windows.
Celtx Celtx is a fully integrated solution for media pre-production and collaboration. It replaces old fashioned 'paper, pen & binder' media creation with a digital approach to writing and organizing that's more complete, simpler to work with, and easier to share.
Open Office the entire suite to replace ms office, open source and free - backed by sun.
completely compatible with all your word, powerpoint, excel documents plus cross platform, and well, better imo, this is the way to go without shelling out hundreds.
I just had a look at Celtx, thanks for enlightening me.
You are welcome, I just heard about it myself and went to download it. For windows you install it and Linux basically it runs off the application. I spent 20 min trying to install it lol.

It is not completely compatible at all. When importing from word, anything other than a simple document (e.g. 200 page manual) the location of text, pictures, diagrams etc. gets completely screwed.
Here's what I think of OpenOfice:
Writer MS Word has many features (think bloat?) that OOoWriter does not have.
For instance in Word, you can put a border around a word. Just like using inline code, but it can't be done in Writer. Actually I want to do that, if it's possible please correct me.
However, the thing that makes me use Writer 100% of the time is for the excellent PDF support. I love it.
Base Still has a while to go before it is as good as Access. I very often get errors using Base.
Calc Very good. In fact, much easier to use and program than Excel. It is slightly slower though.
Impress Better than PowerPoint, but slower. Drawing features in OpenOffice are much better than MS Office.
Draw No decent MS Office alternative. I love draw, for simple things.
Math No MS Office alternative at all. This application is very decent.

AutoHotKey is a free, open source macro application. It can simulate mouse clicks and key presses. It even comes with a recorder that will record macros and save them to an AutoHotKey script file. It also has a feature to compile the scripts into standalone applications, so they don't need the AutoHotKey program to run.
Also, just downloaded that Programmer's Notepad thing on page 2. That is the BEST!!!!! Does almost everything VS's editor will do for you. Has highlighting for just about every language known to man.

I downloaded the gcw but I cannot figure out how to install it I also downloaded Cgywin and cannot figure out how to install it either. So my question is can you tell me how to install either of them? If you were wondering ..yes I did look for an install file but did not see one

When you download cygwin you download an exe that the downloads a whole bunch of other files, which make up the unix like environment.
