I use about 2 dozen applications on a daily basis that aid in everything from domain purchasing to web design, but these are 4 I couldn’t live without regardless of what I was doing.
By itself, TaskSwitchXP is a replacement for the Alt+Tab task switcher built into Windows XP (I refuse to Vista, so this one is for XP folks only). If you have a Logitech G5 /G7 – or any other mouse with programmable buttons – you can assign the thumb button to Alt+Tab and any time you press it, this task switcher will pop up, using the scroll wheel to cycle through your applications. Release the thumb button to select that app. This makes switching your applications amazingly fast. There’s an even better application called TopDesk, but I chose to give up awesomeness for speed. It’s basically Expose` for Windows.
Vista Users: You can get this effect for free
