theses are just the looks:

Pidgin

Revo Uninstaller

 

XP Pro SP3, using limited account and Software Restriction Policies in combination with IE Internet Zone set to most everything disabled and setting sites I need scripts and such to the Trusted Zone (whitelist browsing) to help mitigate online hazzards.

Edit: Sandboxie. I shouldn't forget my browser sandbox. I wouldn't do without it anymore, regardless of browser used.

Flash Player, used only in Trusted Zone

Irfanview file viewer

SumatraPDF PDF viewer

RMClock CPU driver for undervolting



My list is simple as is my laptop and how I use it. Can't quite reach 10 titles. I go back and forth with Opera'a browser, so you could add that too.

• Firefox
• Paint Shop Pro XI (until a better version comes along)
• Picasa
• Google Earth
• Microsoft Office
• CC Cleaner
• PDF Xchange Viewer
• AVG, Avast, or Avira antivirus (or Nod32 or Kaspersky if cheap or free)
• 7 Zip
• Mpeg Sreamclip

 

Well it kind of depends, I tend to install as needed rather than all at once. But generally, ones that comes quite soon are:

*Opera
*Office (although I did put that off for half a month once)
*AIM 6.5 (not 6.8)
*Windows Media Player 10. Though it's for compatibility - WMP 9 is my preference (and comes with my Windows XP SP2).
*Either Acrobat 8 or Foxit Reader; I vary. Currently use both.

And if I were to install Windows now (which means XP), these two:
*RightMark CPU Clock Utility (wouldn't use with Vista though - that caused problems) for underclocking/volting.
*RivaTuner for over/underclocking.

The other three earliest would likely be games. My guesses:
*Medieval II Total War
*Halo: Combat Evolved
*Civilization III

Although really, if I had a brand new computer with better performance than my current one, I'd probably put the games on first (and more than just these three) and play them for awhile and then put most of the other ones on. Opera and possibly AIM are the only ones I'd put on really early - the other stuff could wait until I'd played with the games for awhile. This list is more accurate assuming performance would be the same, or I was reinstalling on my current computer.

9. Comodo Firewall
10. Kaspersky

 

I think some of these have been named before but here I go:

- Office 2007 - either Home & Student & Outlook or any other combination - key are the "big 4" Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook - I don't know what the others are useful for, can't see their sense really, but maybe someone can.
- CCleaner for keeping the Computer "clean and tidy"
- Internet Security - my personal choice is Kaspersky
- an encyclopedia - Britannica for the UK, Brockhaus for Germany (have both - missing my Brockhaus DVD though...moving house - all you get, a mess...)
- a photo editing software - on my Medions I had Microsoft PictureIt 10 - Now I've got Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and am happy with it (also Digital Photo Professional from Canon...)
- A "music software" - I've got all my CDs on SonicStage
- Firefox to run alongside IE7

All I can think of, there are a few "maybes":
- video player
- Instant messenger (PS: QIP for ICQ runs off a USB drive )
- personal occupation orientated software - university course for me means SAS for example
- "burning software" - Nero for me - in a "tidyied up" version
- sooner or later one needs QuickTime & Real Player

 

I've been using Ashampoo for a while. It isn't as intuitive as Nero and I've had to hit Google a few times to figure out a few options. As bloated as it is, Nero is still my top choice for a burning software.
