If you've already got a list of software you're wanting to run then more than likely it's Windows based. In which case I would suggest Windows XP Pro.
But if you're up for alternatives, free alternatives that is, or you don't mind messing with installing some form of Windows emulation software, I would go with any flavor of Linux. Ubuntu is most widely used as it seems to considered the most user friendly but there are plenty of Linux distros that aren't that hard to deal with. But Ubuntu would be your best bet if you were new to Linux.
If you don't play videogames, I would probably go with Ubuntu.
