MaxPC just put out a list (is 5 a list??:P ) of "cool" freeware apps for Christmas. Anything rock your boat?

A list full of meh
TeamPlayer is actually a great free tool for pair programming or even just brainstorming.
Sandboxie is a neat idea that I'm a little curious about. I download a variety of "kwality" art/music applications from time to time to see what's new, cool or otherwise out there (you don't know how useful a tool is until you play with it sometimes). Because these are often the product of small time developers they leave a lot of mess around in Windows, so if something like this worked reasonably well it might be useful.
Granted I use VirtualBox for this very purpose already but still, it's a good idea if it really does what it claims...!
So yes, I would say some good stuff in the list.
