Top 100 Mac AppsPosted by Chris Pirillo
I’ve compiled a list of my top 100 Mac apps for your perusal, since so many people have been asking for it.Thanks to Taylor Olson and Jason for helping me put all the icons and links in place! These apps are certainlyTiger compatible, and most of ‘em work inside Leopard (though the VNC utilities are now unnecessary). I didmy best to avoid overly popular titles, but couldn’t avoid it in some cases.
A rolling list of ‘Honorable Mentions’ follow the Top 100, so… keep reading. ;) Only one application ismissing.
I’m also happy to announce that both VMware and Shiny White Box are coming aboard as official videosponsors – but their presence in this list is based on app merit. It’s my hope to find exclusive coupons andpricing for any of the following commercial applications… or any commercial Mac app, for tha tmatter. Staytuned!
Which apps did I miss – especially for Windows switchers? ;)
