    Aside from iLife '09, iWork '09 and M$ Office 2008, I would say that the must have software on my Mac would be:

    Handbrake - for video encoding/converting.
    VLC Media player - for video playback.
    VirtualBox - it's like VMware Fusion but is available for free beta.
    hulu Desktop - Recently got rid of my cable and use hulu for TV
    Boxee - Another reason to kill your TV
    Transmission - a nice lightweight torrent client.
    PS3 Media Server - Stream files from your mac to your PS3 over network
    Gimp - Great photo editor software
    Braid - One of the best games out there.

    Everything on my list above is free. Except for Braid ($15).
