The XP7 Productivity Pack Preview

[Arnox]

I think I've talked off and on about this over the months, but I've never really revealed everything I've collected. Now, I'm sure many of you are probably just not interested in any of this. You're happy using whatever apps and operating systems you've bought and you don't feel you need any of this. Alright, that's fine. But this pack is for those who, for whatever reason, want these apps but were not able to secure them, or were able to secure them in the past, but are not able to secure them anymore. Furthermore, Windows XP and Windows 7 are seen as the best operating systems Microsoft has ever released, and many would really rather just stay on them and don't feel any need to upgrade or update what is already working perfectly.

The criteria for every piece of software in this pack is as follows:
- Cannot be a game, movie, music, or other creative work.
- Must work fine with either Windows XP 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit. Just Windows 7 is fine, but is not preferred. If support for both is available at different times in the software's lifecycle, then both versions will be made available.
- The software must officially demand a subscription for it, be listed at a very unreasonable price, be open-source, or simply not be listed for sale any longer.
- The software must be the best, or at least, one of the best pieces of software in its respective area of focus.

The whole thing adds up to a surprisingly light 72 GB of software. So, without further ado, here's what's been preserved in alphabetical order:
