Alternate software

Sometimes a program we grow to enjoy gets updates that make it a bloated avatar of its former greatness. Here are some original applications I have used in the past followed by the current replacements I have installed on my computer:

Adobe Reader - Fox-It (for viewing PDF files)
Eudora - Thunderbird (email client for Darlene - in my case I use nothing now [webmail])
Windows Media Player - VLC (for playing video files)
ACDSee - Irfanview (for viewing and basic editing of pictures)
Winamp 5.35 - Winamp 5.08 Lite (for playing mp3 files)
WinZip - 7-Zip (file compression utility)
CuteFTP - Filezilla (FTP client)
