I'm glad you purchased the software. I find it amazing how many people steal all of their software then go ape shit when someone rips a password to their paysite, etc. Such hypocrites... I figure if I can't afford the software then I don't need it. If it's for business I do not hesitate to purchase it when I need it.
I use Dreamweaver MX 2004, Transmit and for text/php I use subEthaEdit.
VLC is cool but if you haven't already download flip4mac,
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win.../flip4mac.mspx
It allows you to play WMV files directly in Quicktime, much much better then VLC! Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows Media Player and recommends this solution. Which I prefer over WMP. Just like Safari kills IE for Mac.
