Windows 7 Essential Programs (says me)
This is a list I made of programs I need to install on a new OS before I consider it ready to use. Most of these are essential to me either for work or play. I made this list when I installed Win7 RC and now I'll need to do this again for the release version. They are in the order I thought of them which is often also the order of importance. MS Security Essentials (was AGV Free) FireFox Subversion Tortoise SVN Putty PuttyCM (and unclick "Hide when minimized") cygwin Perl (Strawberry these days) Squeezecenter vmware player Thunderbird and Clowdmark anti-virus vim (my version with plugins I will check out from svn) Radiator Audacity Sync Toy eWallet winSCP Retrospect Beyond Compare X Mouse easyBCD Set Win7 for X mouse and "better" power settings i.e. don't shut down after some idle time... That' about it. [/items/Devlog] permanent link
