Here's an interesting site for all you trapped windows users :)
http://www.opensourcewindows.org/ (http://www.opensourcewindows.org/)
It maintains a list with only the best available open-source software for windows (various categories).
Needless to say, Code::Blocks is in that list ;)

Great!
Here's another one for Spanish users: http://alts.homelinux.net

Nice. Those are some good alternatives for Windows. :D

Gaim = BLEAH
GIMP = BLEAH
BLEAAAAHNDER :lol: (Maybe one day, but not now.)
Code::Blocks, Firefox, Audacity, Thunderbird, AbiWord(hmm, looks like there is a new version) are great! But I could care less if they are open source or not. OSS is not a feature. Program either works well or it doesn't. I didn't even know AbiWord was open source.

The programs you choose (except AbiWord) explains why Native widgets are so important.
I wouldn't be using Code::Blocks if it were not native. :)

Amen, brotha! There are several categories from that list in which I use free but closed-source programs, because they are miles beyond the best OSS software. (For example, µTorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/) rather than Azureus.)

Hopefully will TCPA not kill Open source software. :shock:

Plus foobar2000 and EAC for audio for example. It's not OSS but I can't live without them.
The good thing about the list is that most programs exists in other systems too (Linux/BSD/Mac/etc), so if you have to use xx OS or yy OS you'll not have too much problems regarding getting used to applications.
The ones I use personally, which are lightweight, native, free, open-source and cross-platform (Windows/Linux/BSD/Mac/etc) are:
Mozilla Firefox - The red panda browser
VLC - Plays everything everywhere
VNC - Remote administration everywhere
Audacity - Good audio editor
wxMusik - A foobar2000 wannabe
Filezilla - A very good FTP client/server (it's being ported from MFC->wx)
Code::Blocks - One IDE, to rule them all!
SciTE - Fast, lightweight and advanced text editor with syntax highlighting
AMP - Apache, MySQL, PHP, the system doesn't matters
AegiSub - For advanced video subtitling
poEdit - For translating gettext catalogs
wxChecksums - For checking SFV/MD5 checksums
Chromium - Great small OpenGL space shooter
Preferred multimedia formats:
MKV - Multimedia container
FLAC - Lossless audio codec
OGG - Lossy audio codec
XVID - Great video codec
x264 - Better video codec
PNG - Lossless image format
I'm missing some native cross-platform programs, such as an Explorer replacement, an Image Viewer, and a lot more, but I can live without them happily for now. :)

I can't wait till it's stable (or beta). I've read roadmap and some plans and it looks very promising :)
