I have Word in my Dock, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be using? Open Office isn't really good enough yet.

Clearly you're meant to be using something which is completely mac exclusive, to show how much you won't ever touch a PC...

My work desktop, hardly exciting but a nice little setup to keep the titles of my web browsers hidden from prying eyes:

Finder, Address Book, After Effects (which will be going now), Activity Monitor, Adobe Kuler, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Adium, Aperture, Calculator, Color Wheel script, FF, Flickr Uploader, jBidWatcher, Mail, Missing Sync, OfficeTime, Preview, QuickShareIt, Quicktime, svnX, Skype, TextMate, Transmit, VirtualBox, WebKit, XScope, Twirl, Pages (because I was writing something, usually isn't in there).

I'll point out the ones you probably wont know of/use.

Adobe Kuler - http://kuler.adobe.com/ - Useful for colour schemes

Color Wheel - Just launches the Apple colour wheel, although I don't really need it.

jBidWatcher - Sniping auctions on ebay

Missing Sync - Sync my mobile with my computer

OfficeTime - Keep track of my hours for my boss in America

QuickShareIt - File uploading service, well useful

svnX - Keep my local copy of the website I work on for my boss in America up to date.

TextMate - Best text editor bar none.

VirtualBox - Win XP virtualisation for IE6/7 x-browser testing

WebKit - Nightly builds of the browser that Safari is based on, passes Acid 3 etc.

XScope - Provides all sorts of handy tools, I use the rulers quite a lot for lining up headers and content when doing development work

Twirl - Twitter updater, although I rarely use it

Pages - Instead of Word, it comes as default on all macs and is my word processing app of choice, also have OO3 installed though.

So there's a little insight into my dock, which is always hidden as I don't really use it, my menu bar is probably more useful, what with Mail notifications and fan speed/RAM/CPU usage, although I do have QS hidden.

Clearly, one's dock illustrates one's personality.
