The software I use regularly:

* OneNote, for notetaking, outlining, organizing research, to do list. Features I like the most: painless synching with three computers via SkyDrive, tables, outlines, search, tagging, ability to link to any paragraph. Has an iPhone app but it’s not there yet.
* UltraEdit, text editor for writing, programming
* Excel, R, for data analysis
* Clipmate, for storing short-term clips, cleaning up text before pasting in other programs
* WinSplit Revolution, for arranging programs on screen, multiple monitors at work
* Dropbox, for storing most files, some portable apps for use on multiple computers, inc. iPhone
* Instapaper, for saving articles from Web to read later on Kindle or iPhone
* PlainText for notetaking on iPhone and synching with other computers via Dropbox
* xPlorer2, for copying, moving, previewing files
* Gmail and Outlook
* Chrome extension SingleFile when I occasionally want to save a web page as is
* LastPass, for storing passwords
* Bayden SlickRun, for quick access to programs, websites
