    Can't say I really have a favorite software. But I did get a Colossus2 HD pcie card and a HDCP stripper for my pc that allows me to watch and record HDMI video & cable tv (just got it from Santa)
    Does hardware count?

    Most important has to be whatever they use at the electric power plant to keep my lights on!

    BIOS software. Without it your OS could not communicate with your hardware.

    IMHO it's the free alternatives to paid apps. Especially development tools.

    I think, the best software ever made is dr.Fone that helps you to recover all the lost data from your phone.

    My favorite application for windows is "everything" (it's an application name ;) )from (voidtools)
    it simply lets you search everything in your computer very very fast better than windows search itself.
    I like that app and it's free.

    I would have to choose Macrium Reflect as a must-have piece of software. It's saved me from re-installing Windows more times than I can remember. You're much better off having a backup image and never using it than needing a backup image and not having one available.

    Not meaning to be impolite, but there is a slight problem with this question. But let me provide background first.

    There used to be an East Group and a West Group of human beings that were most definitely known as "computers". I am not at all joking here. They were at Langley and it was that outfit before NASA and I have to be honest that I am typing from memory and I do not remember the full abbreviation/name of that research organization's name before NASA, but it also started with NA [then] something-something ,,, if I am remembering correctly.

    Now these ladies that were called computers really were just exactly that. They took all the numbers and narrowed what they had down to something the engineers could then use to make decisions. There were a lot of them.

    If I remember my early classes correctly, the computers in machine form y'all are asking about were used by NASA (by that time the name had changed) just about the first few flights of the Mercury program, or a tad before. But many pilots/astronauts and some engineers didn't trust the early machines and used the original computers many times to check the machines.

    So there were real live humans called computers. Check it someplace and you'll see what I mean.

    So when I saw this topic/thread the first thing that entered my mind is the human brain is the finest software available. Some of the programs those computers wrote, those human ones, are still used by NASA. Mrs. Johnson (Kathy, if memory serves) is especially well-known around NASA for her work. The Apollo 13 crew were saved primarily because of Ms. Johnson's work.

    Apologies for the long explanation as to why I answer the human brain as being Software Number One. And it is so strange that now smart folks are trying to go full circle and take the machine back to the original computer, the human.

    Interesting that no one has pointed out that it could be CCleaner.
    Absolutely irreplaceable and necessary for everyone at all times, but there is nothing that can replace it.
