Hi, I just tried GAIM For windows and I absolutely love it. What an IM
client; it's superb. It just reminds me how great open source software
is. So, I'm gonna ask in case I, or others, have missed out on some
great open source software, what are your favorites?

For me, they are,

- GAIM
- GIMP
- Openoffice.org/staroffice
- 7-zip

Certainly the Gimp and OO. I also love Streamtuner(Linux) and several
open source apps available with Mandrake Linux.

He named InnoSetup in his list, so I guess that's his favourite... ;-)
Another good one is NSIS 2.
