For moi: WinAmp, WinZip (not that useful when there are better gnu/linux
alternatives), Apple's QuickTime player (for watching movie trailers
downloaded from http://www.apple.com/trailers/, the only major video
format I'm unable to watch with native players), Microsoft Encarta 97,
and a number of other reference or kiddie CDROM titles (those that claim
to be win3.1-compatible tend to be more wine-compatible).
I also remember playing a FPS demo from a UK comp mag cover disk. I
forget its title (simply because I'm not a frag freak) but I'm sure it's
not Quake. As for major applications I remember running and crashing a
cover disk version of Lotus Smart Suite (version '97+). Note that my
hard drive is 100% vfat-free.
