Ahh Jinto Lin beat me to it!!
On top of his/her comprehensive list I'll add:
Audio:
Soundforge
WaveLab
Sequencers:
Reason 3.0 - Very user friendly for amateurs. Programs like cubase are a bit hard to pick up.
Fruity Loops - If you havent made music before this ridiculously basic program well get you going.
Rebirth - A nice acid instrument + self contained sequencer, 303s & 808s etc.
None are free if you're planning to pay for them but can be acquired through the usual alternative methods quite easily.
