I dual boot with win98se and use mostly freeware in windows. However,
no Windows computer can be "all freeware" since the os is commercial.
Here's the freeware that I use on a regular basis:

Browser - kmeleon
Office suite - Open Office (though infrequently in Windows)
Firewall - kerio 3.15
Newsreader - Xnews
Email - Thunderbird
mp3 and streaming audio - XMPlay and QCD
File Manager - xplorer2, FMedit98, P3DO explorer
Anti Spyware - Adaware, Spybot
Email notification - Poptray
Time sync - neutron
RSS aggregator - Tristana
CD Burner - EAC, BurnAtOnce
Registry Cleaner - RegSeeker
Clipboard Utility - YCIII
Notepad - Editpad Lite
FTP - FTP Explorer
HTML editor - HTML Kit, (experimenting with Nvu)
Image Viewer - Irfanview
Image Manipulation - Photofiltre
Video - Real Alternative, Quick Time Alternative, Media Player Classic
File Eraser - Eraser
Zip Files - Ultimate Zip (freeware version) and Power Archiver (last
freeware version also)

I also use quick folders, WinPatrol, Cookie Master, EnditAll2,
EmptyTemp2, and TclockEx.

I routinely keep many other freeware programs with which to play and
experiment. I use a payware AV because I don't mess around with that.

I use win98se to play, Mandrake Linux to work.

========================
The only software I ever paid for was Norton System Works and donated $15
for mIRC in 1996. I don't think it's donateware anymore. Almost everything
else on my PC is freeware I learned about on this NG, or it came with my HP
PC or my Sony CDR/RW writer (Nero).
