people who use winamp should be using foobar2000

Ha! Tried that once, never again.

 

[chrislowe]

Well, if we're doing this...

Nice

 

[djplaeskool]

I think I'm still using a version of UltraISO from 2003.
It's the best high-speed low-drag no-nonsense ISO software I've ever used.

 

[Fattony12000]

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, Adobe After Effects CS6 and Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 7.

 

[_Ryo_]

I use a laptop with an old version of linux mint sometimes... strangely it handles stuff surprisingly well.

 

[Jarate]

Adobe Audition 3, practically the industry standard for radio

 

[BuckRobotron]

I still use Office 2000 Pro on one of my older machines. Initially came new with my then-potent XPS 2200 from way back when. Machine is long gone.

Also Quicken 2006.

 

[realraptor]

Windows XP

 

[AdventureMike]

Paint Shop Pro - Still use it on occasion, but goddamn... nostalgia blast from the past seeing so many use it in this thread. In the early 2000s, every high schooler I knew that did any artwork of any kind or played sprite based games were using PSP for something or another.

Winamp - Still the favorite piece of software on my computer. This is the best to me.

Oh! Office! Forgot about that one. Until recent years I was still using Word 97, heh.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Gmail Notifier.

[Spike Spiegel]

Ulead PhotoImpact 6.

My copy came with a flatbed scanner that was roughly the size of a large briefcase, and no matter how much I try to stop or what other software I buy/download, I always default to using it for creating or manipulating images. Most of its features are ridiculously outdated, and I know that one of these days I have to stop using it as a crutch, but I spent so much time with this software back in the day that it's almost instinctive.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Does Internet Explorer count ?

 

[Carlisle]

Man, hearing people mention winamp and cakewalk is awesome. I used those for years. Couldn't remember how/why I stopped then I realized it was around the time I switch to mac. Such great times with those programs.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, Adobe After Effects CS6 and Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 7.

Samsies. Not terribly old software, but since Adobe has gone sub-only I'll be using CS6 for the rest of my life.

And Windows 7 is the first Windows I've been able to stomach since switching to OS X. If only PC laptop hardware was halfway decent enough to make it usable. It runs like a dream through BootCamp though. No interest in W8 or any other OS that's designed for mobiles at the same time, so if MS continues down that path it'll be W7 for quite a while.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, Adobe After Effects CS6 and Adobe Photoshop CS6.



Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 7.

Well, CS6 is far from old.

And if upgrading would not be damn expensive I would probably upgrade anyway.

Anyhow, I do not like using old software at all, so I don't think there is any old software I use. Unless there really is not any alternative.

 

[kick51]

4 lyfe!

What?! I can't hear you! I left the speakers up and DVD Decrypter deafened me with that damn marimba sound.

 

[diggmcbadass]

I'm using Opera 12, and will do so until the chromopera monstrosity gets at least close to the having the same features as the old version. Last time I tried I couldn't get half the things I depend on in my daily browsing to work.

 

[Irminsul]

Winamp 5.666, Windows 7, Opera 12.16, Office 2010 and TeXLive 2012 on my work machine (because upgrading that is a PitA).

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Winamp as while many of the plugins I used have foobar versions I can't handle the foobar GUI.

I've still got OpenOffice (not Apache or Libre...).

MSN messenger.

Old versions of utorrent. Before the software took a shit.

I have a version from the pre-buyout days. It was <100kb, feature rich and had easter eggs (like Tetris). Not used torrents in years (ISP heavily shaped traffic to obvious and comical levels)

I'm using Opera 12, and will do so until the chromopera monstrosity gets at least close to the having the same features as the old version. Last time I tried I couldn't get half the things I depend on in my daily browsing to work.

This one too, how could I forget.

 

[AdventureMike]

Forgot to add one to the list:

BitTornado - I've been using the same bittorrent client for the last...like fucking 10 years. I'm just used to it by now.

 

[bjaelke]

Windows Commander (now Total Commander)

 

[Ikki]

Winamp for sure.

 

[jmdajr]

Got like a 10 year old copy of nero

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

photoshop cs 2, got no money to upgrade

I still use the old opera for notes sync and all that stuff, the new one got rid of everything I use the most on the computer, lol

Windows 7, I had win 8 but something went wrong and I wasn't able to recover it so I deleted my partition and went back to 7 so it doesn't happen again, I just mostly want to play games on there.

I'm also still on Lion on Mac (I think), I need to use it daily for work so I don't have time to upgrade or troubleshoot if there're problems.

I only got CS2 when they cocked up last year. Before that it was PS7 all the way.

oh and I still use Win XP because fuck tha police

 

[Az]

Cool Edit Pro.

 

[Vyroxis]

Windows 7

I still have a laptop with windows Millenium on it, all so I can play one game that requires a lot of surgery to run half assed on 7.

 

[Barkley's Justice]

Windows by Microsoft.

 

[RedSwirl]

Damn I thought I was the only one who still used CS2.

And I JUST upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista.

 

[Renoir]

Nero burner
winamp

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

Microsoft Money 2004, it works and I don't need any other whizzbang functionality.

This guy is fucking psyched to be using it so I should be too:

I also don't want to remove Money from my computer, that sounds like a bad thing.

 

[Relix]

I am in the Winamp camp

 

[Dark Octave]

Such a great program that changed the way I made music but it went extinct a while ago. I'll probably move on someday.

 

[LAMBO]

Nice good to see Cool Edit Pro here, i haven't needed to edit audio in a long time but if i did that's what i'd use.

 

[LiK]

Photoshop cuz fuck the online cloud subscription shit.

 

[Pedrito]

I still use Word and Excel 2000.

 

[farisr]

TC, was right there with ya before. PaintShop Pro 7 for a good amount of time. But yeah, once I got a taste of some of the new features and how easy some things were (that I spent hours on when using paintshop pro 7) I switched. Yeah, if I didn't need to do that stuff, I'd still have stuck with it.

Anyways currently:

Winamp
Adobe CS6 suite (not going past this if they keep up their cloud crap)
Windows 7

These are the ones that I can think of right off the bat that I won't be getting rid of anytime soon and keep using for years and years to come. Yes I know CS6 and windows 7 are not that old, but they will be by the time I finally decide to upgrade or move on. And I don't see me moving on from winamp ever.

 

[#1 defender]

Winamp!

This is awesome! I thought I was the only one.

Quite the opposite!

 

[spindashing]

- Windows XP
- Windows 7
- If iTunes did not exist, I would still be using Winamp.
- Microsoft Office 2007 for work reasons, so I just use that version universally.

 

[ronito]

Guitar Pro 5. GP6 is absolute ass, it's slower, some of the keyboard shortcuts don't work, the interface is less intuitive and things that took 1-2 button/key presses in GP5 take ages to do in GP6. It's a downgrade in almost every aspect, and only has a slightly better "realistic sound engine", which still sounds like shit and you can find free VST plugins that sound way better than GP6 RSE anyway. GP5 forever.

I'm not the only one!

Also put me squarely in the Winamp camp.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

LeechFTP. It hasn't been updated in years, but it still does what I need it to.

 

[Lautaro]

People mentioning Windows 7 as old software, WTH!

I'm still using Windows Vista!

 

[Borgnine]

Used Cool Edit Pro long after I should have but finally switched to Audition. I've tied lots of other scorewriters but Noteworthy Composer is still the quickest and easiest to use.

My dad uses some dos accounting program called DOME. I'm like dude you really shouldn't keep your entire financial history on something that came on a 3.5" floppy.

 

[Bornstellar]

Monitor Calibration Wizard.

I think it's the only calibration software I know of that does real-time correction when games attempt to change the color profile used.

 

[Five]

The oldest software I use is Damn NFO viewer. The next oldest is Adobe Audition CS5.5. Yeah, I don't really hang on to old software much.

 

[terrisus]

I'm still using AOL 5.0 - released in 2000 - as my primary email client.

Also using WS_FTP95 as my FTP client.

 

[lednerg]

Winamp

This one. And Photoshop CS2 for almost the same reason, the newer versions got a bit too overcomplicated for my taste.

 

[terrisus]

Oh, and since we're doing pictures here:

 

[Nyoro SF]

Cool Edit Pro 2000

Still one of the best, quickest, dirtiest multi-track sound editers I've used. Adobe bought the product and turned it into the bloated beast that is Syntrillium.

I love these old school interfaces. Quick and minimal.

I still use winamp, but I don't think I use anything older than that other than old games lol
