Seeing as my fellow blogger Fred just made the switch to OS X, I thought I’d help him and other switchers out by posting a quick list of must have applications for OS X.

[ Internet ]
Firefox - Need I say anything else? My browser of choice no matter what OS you’re running.
Aduim - A feature rich Instant Messaging client, with a broad range of supported clients makes this a must have.
Tomato - A simple, easy to use BitTorrent client. I’m using it until the OS X version of uTorrent comes out
Cyberduck - A departure from the normal two paned view you might be used to in FTP programs, but still a robust program with support for FTP (File Transfer Protocol), FTP/TLS (FTP secured over SSL/TLS) and SFTP

[ Multimedia ]
VLC Player - Fast, stable and wide ranging codec support makes VLC a fantastic all around media player
Flip4Mac - Adds support for playing WMV files in QuickTime
LiquidCD - Excellent alternative to the native disc burning in OS X
Handbrake - It may not offer the widest range of options when ripping a DVD, but it’s straight forward and produces high quality rips with no hassle.

[ Misc ]
smcFanControl 2.1 - A must have for managing the fan speeds on your Macbook / Macbook Pro
Cashbox - Simple and easy to use software to keep track of your finances
Growl - Growl is a notification system for Mac OS X: it allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications.
