Re: Work PC
Well, I normally have two PCs and one Mac.
One PC runs Windows 2000 Server and is configured with various streaming servers (quicktime, Real, Windows Media), IIS and developer editions of Coldfusion Server and Flash Communication Server (enables two way comms with Flash Player). This PC is an elderly Celeron 600, and is used because when I play around with the configuration of something, I obviously don't want to be playing with the production servers..
The other PC is a Windows XP one. At the moment, it's awaiting repair (again - see my blog for details), but it normally has Office, thunderbird (for email), Opera (for browsing), the Macromedia products (Flash, Dreamweaver mainly, but also Director), the Adobe Products (Encore, Premiere Pro and Photoshop). Finally it has Cool Edit 2000 (my Boss won't pay the money to upgrade to Adobe Audition, which is the successor to Cool Edit), MSN Messenger and JASC Software's Paint Shop (this is almost as powerful as Photoshop, but far easier to use, so I use this unless I actually need Photoshop). I am helping one of the lecturers teach 3D Studio Max now, so that will also go on there.
The Mac has all the Macromedia stuff (Dreamweaver, Director, Flash, Freehand) and Photoshop. I don't actually use these programs on the Mac (I use this mac to administrate the Macs in the lab) but I use my Mac to create a disk image which is then copied to the Macs in the lab, so all the software needs to be installed.
I tend to have things like browser plugins (Adobe Reader, Quicktime, Windows media player, real player etc) that I have on all three.

Re: Work PC
Good selection there. I see most people sort of have the same like Office, E-Mail and Internet. If I had my own setup here at school I would have things like MSN, FTPs and many other things I want.

Re: Work PC
My work machine is a linux laptop - I run gaim, Skype, Firefox Mplayer and Xine.
We used to have a quake server and a UT server that was available out of work hours. But they went a couple of years ago. 
I am allowed to use the net as much as I like, but obviously I should use it mainly for business.
