Freeware
Do you use freeware?
I have some architectural drawings that I have to work with to perform my job. As such, sometimes I need to print them out, modify them, etc. Because these documents exist only in PDF format, I have to use an imaging program that understands them.
This is where GIMP comes in. GIMP (Graphic Image Manipulation Program) lets me do what I need to these files. I was installing this program on my laptop at work when Mr. Not-So-Savvy asks if I'm modifying(!) a co-worker's laptop! What an idiot! The desktop should have said it all-it had my name prominently displayed on it!
Some people just don't have a clue, I guess ...
GIMP and Ghostscript (needed to open PDF files)
