I'm working on Linux and Windows (XP, Vista), and through the years I began to use tools that are free and that work on both operating system.
Here a partial list of these softwares:
TrueCrypt - On-the-fly encryption. This tool is the easy to use. I use it on my USB sticks for my sensitive information.
VLC - Media Player. This media player is easy to use and work on multiple operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc).
KeePass - Password storage. I like this tool, easy to use, I keep two set of keys, one for the very sensitive stuff (credit cards, banks, etc), and an other one for all my daily user accounts (example: Sun network, this blog, everything that I need to sign up for having access to stuff).
OpenOffice - Text editing and more. What to say? Each new release bring this software suite to a new step closer to Microsoft Office. I don't say it is perfect, Microsoft is a more integrated suite (Outlook, SharePoint, etc.), but if you don't need these components, OpenOffice is very good at editing text and it is free.
GIMP - Image editing. Very mature image editing software.
