Flip4Mac
A52 codec
Microsoft Messenger
Stuffit Expander
Handbrake

These are the free things I have installed.

Of un-free stuff I have:
Parallels Desktop
Microsoft Office 2004
Quicktime Pro

All of the above can be bought from Apple. You might wanna wait with Office, since there's gonna be a universal 2007 version soon. There's already a 30 day trial version on your Mac when you recieve it. Until the 2007 version you can use something like NeoOffice, but that isn't good.

You may also wanna look at iWork. The 2007 version is said to have a spreadsheet application too.

If you don't like Parallels Desktop, you can always get Bootcamp for free from Apple.
