Sparked by a conversation on LugRadio about what software you’ve ever purchased. It got me thinking about what I’ve paid for. It’s been recently that I’ve purchased the most
- Windows XP - 2 copies of
- Acronis Workstation
- Visual Studio 2005
- Resharper
- Suse 7.2 and some other later that version I can’t remember
- SkEdit (I think)
- Peepcode RoR Screencasts
- Various donations to OS projects
- I’m positive there’s a few other small ones
Update
- I also bought a copy of Linspire (it might even have been called Lindows then) and a subscription to the CNR
It’s quite alot considering the ammount of Open Source software I use and quite pricey too. These are personal purchases too not related to Karova. Admittedly the Visual Studio version was the academic version bought through my Dad who is still a student.
What have you bought?
Also along the same line - I’ve purchased a new desktop and a couple more monitors. It will be the fastest machine I have ever been on let alone owned - stay tuned

You know, you can get free promotional version of Visual Studio 2008 by attending the Microsoft Joint Launch Event. Not that’ll help you add to this list =)

Hi Fred,

Awesome! Looking forward to it
hmmm,
things I’ve bought:
Quick ‘n Easy FTP server - although I now just use FileZilla
Ultramon - can’t live without it now
Trillian Pro - ditto
Eyebeam - SIP Client of choice
Editplus - now trying Notepad++ though
Winzip - back in the day… now 7-Zip
Just got me a T61p Thinkpad - all the installers in one directory, so easy enough to compile list
Everything else is pretty much freeware or open source.
Ummmmm no comment here Phil
