Today I found today a great list of the most popular Open Source applications rated by number of positive and negative votes on listible.

If you’re a Windows user, and just formated your PC, and need a fresh batch of Open Source applications, this will be a great resource for you. Here are the top 10 most popular Open Source applications on that list:

1. Firefox
2. Filezilla
3. OpenOffice.org
4. Audacity
5. VLC
6. Gaim
7. 7-Zip
8. Thunderbird
9. TrueCrypt
10. Uniform Server

Despite the list being a bit “off” in terms of accuracy, most of the best, or at least most popular, open source applications are there. Enjoy!
