Aw, Foobar didn’t make it into music players.
And I highly recommend the Combined Community Codec Back (CCCP) with Media Player Classic for video.
Nice list! Nice to know what the public uses.

avira free antivirus
rocks and excellent virus defination updates
Spyware doctor Stater Edition and Malwarebytes anti- Malware are missing in Spyware removal programs and Foobar 2000 is missing in music players
Spyware doctor was included in the original poll. As about Foobar you’re right, we missed it. We only realised that after the comments started to come in.It became apparent that Foobar is one of the best media players out there

oh DEAR GODDESS.-. people using WMP why oh why,,,
It is interesting that Google Reader received almost eight times as many votes as the second best RSS Reader. It appears that Google currently has a monopoly on online news distribution. But what about the readers included in the “Other” category who deliver particular news to a niche market of dedicated subscribers? Will Google greedily gobble them up? It makes me a bit frustrated that I cannot get my news from any other internet source, without receiving Google-sponsored ads.
