I just bought a new computer, and have installed windows 7 (having to write ASP and ASP.net code). So I’m in the process of putting all the software on, that I need to use for my daily work. As a result I thought I’d keep track of the software I have to use on a daily basis to do my job as a web designer / web developer.
Dropbox
I have to say, I absolutely love it. I can’t wait until cloud storage is so cheap that we can store everything there. Until then, we have Dropbox.
Chrome
Because it’s fast and it translates French websites into English for me automatically.
Firefox
To developer Javascript and CSS, I’m not one of those who have dropped FF for Chrome yet 
Smart FTP
To connect to servers and give and get things.
Eclipse
For PHP, Java, Javascript.
Visual Studio
For ASP, ASP.net
Photoshop
For photos / buttons, visual drafts / prototyping etc.
Notepad ++ (notepad on steroids)
For code, keeping notes and reading files.
