At home I have made a lot of tracks using Reason 4.0, it is an all-in music suite, designed to behave like actual hardware modules. I was wondering what other people use.

Well, I downloaded this program called Fruity Loops. You could create any kind of music, from pianos to electrical music. It is around one gigabyte is size, but it is pretty cool. You could make your own notes, beats, bass, and so on. It is a very interesting program. I sometimes play around with the music, and sometimes, I make a great beat.

fruity loops is quite good, I also have it especially as it has VSTs, but I find because the software is quite small, only 1Gb, it doesn't have sampled instruments e.g. Grand Piano - you would have to buy a VST pluggin for the real instruments sounds.

If you want to make professional music you will need a lot of expensive hardware, but if you make music for yourself you can try hip-hop eJay it has some really nice beats and very interesting features. You can mix some sounds with Sonyc Foundry ACID or something like that. Use also Sound Forge or Cool Edit for best editing ;)

I have used Fruity loops and Sony Acid. They work for what I need. I have also a completely badass Nord Mini Modular. Basically its Modular style analog synth but made virtual. While it doesn't sound analog in any way shape or form, it creates some insane sounding effects.
