For moi: WinAmp, WinZip (not that useful when there are better gnu/linux alternatives), Apple's QuickTime player (for watching movie trailers downloaded from http://www.apple.com/trailers/, the only major video format I'm unable to watch with native players), Microsoft Encarta 97, and a number of other reference or kiddie CDROM titles (those that claim to be win3.1-compatible tend to be more wine-compatible). I also remember playing a FPS demo from a UK comp mag cover disk. I forget its title (simply because I'm not a frag freak) but I'm sure it's not Quake. As for major applications I remember running and crashing a cover disk version of Lotus Smart Suite (version '97+). Note that my hard drive is 100% vfat-free. -- Humanity's future is in the stars: support a manned mission to Mars! http://www.thinkmars.net/petition/addpetition.html
