I find 7-Zip to be better than winrar.

WinFF and the KLite Codec Pack are handy with regards to playing/converting audio.

Whatever 10 applications I need at the moment are the ones I can't live with out. Some of them I only use a few times per a year, but what i use them for is very important.

There are features that I can't live with out anymore though, which are:

1) Multiple desktops
2) Some sort of media player for music
3) Customizable web browser
4) robust command line applications
5) remote access
6) easy to use
