Oh DOS...
What would I do without that flashing prompt? I started using computers before I had seen a mouse and this is the way I still prefer to do many things...
For me it is
- Visual Studio (Have had some version since 1998)
- DOS commands (though now I use powershell - So scratch that and make it a command line tool)
- No more EDIT so I use notepad. I like a no nonsense text editor that won't try to figure out or correct what I'm writing. Just take this text and save it thank you, I'll make sense of it myself.)
- Keboard shortcuts for just about everything in Windows, Visual Studio, Office, Media Player and other apps I use frequently. Seriously, a mouse is for drawing in paint.
- Speaking of which, Paint, I save screenshots a lot. Good job Windows 8 can now save them without the paste in paint then save step.
- Windows Live writer - for me there's been no other way to post to my blog.
- The rest of Windows Live Essentials suite while I'm at it.
- Since that little bird starting making noise, I need a dedicated twitter client. MetroTwit does that for me.
That completes my most frequenltly used tools. I didn't think Windows Media Player is a tool but it can be squeezed in there somewhere, I cannot work without music playing in the background.
