Heresy
yawn.
 
These are my must-haves

TCC/LE - cmd.exe replacement. A godsend, if only for allowing ctrl-v/ctrl-c copy/pasting, and also shift-insert pasting. I used to use Console2 on top of it, which allows for multible tabbed command prompts, but that doesn't work within Win7 x64. TCC/LE has a lot more functionality but I like it for the ease of pasting.

AutoHotkey. I don't do anything fancy with it, but use windowskey + a to either start a TCC/LE window, or bring the out-of-focus TCC/LE window to the front. Also use things to type in oft-repeated strings, eg windows key + 3 to send my TACACS user/password and press enter, to log into network kit.

NotePad++ - huge improvement on Notepad.exe

Oh yeah and Putty Connection Manager, because I can't be arsed remembering the 200+ mgmt IPs for our estate.
