Great list system13, just a few details:

The official Firefox homepage is http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

The official homepage of Motherboard monitor is http://mbm.livewiredev.com/
(BTW, MBM is no longer being developed!)

Good editors, notepad replacement are
here(context) or here(Crimson Editor)!

Some good free programs from Serif Software can be found here!
These include a photo editor and a web editor among others!

And finnally let's not forget about Cygwin, the Linux-like environment for windows!
Most of the open source tools from linux can be run with this.

Cheers and good luck.
