Qualitative data analysis software?

On the topic of citation programs, does anyone have any experience, advice
or recommendations?  I've downloaded a demo of Citation 7.0 for Windows but
am also wondering about Endnote.  Is this MAC only?  How useful are these
programs?  And are there databases of available "common" references that
could be loaded instead of having to start from scratch.  Certainly in my
field of conversation analysis, I can think of at least 50 references that
would be "standards".
