DVD Utils
Since I've started burning DVDs I've been looking for new software to fiddle with. The following are what I would recommend. For some you would have to look for serials and cracks if you do not want to buy it online.
1. DVD Decrypter: Free to install, it helps to dump all your DVD files on your disk or removable media for you to burn it later. Very simple to use and small application.
2. Clone DVD: Helps if you want to copy the exact DVD (with or without the special features). Comes with a 2 week trial. You should know how to crack that one!

Transformation Pack
1. Longhorn: Wanted to see how your desktop would look like with Longhorn? Well the wait's over. Get it here. Read the review of sneak peeks here.

P2P
1. Limewire: This is the one which doesn't bg you with spyware or ads. You can download almost everything including the latest 'Desperate Houswives' episodes ripped from HDTV. Only downside is that its a heavy Java application so could slow down your system a little. But no pain no gain eh?

World Clock
1. Personal World Clock: Ever wanted to know what the time was before you made that call and woke up someone across the atlantic or pacific at an un-earthly hour (I've done that!)? Then you would need this (if you don't have it already)...easy to use, works on Java, so choose your cities (there's a restriction though on how many you can see on your customised screen) and make sure you call at the right time.
