Which software will you install on XP?

[B3n3v3nt3]

I've been thinking already on which software to install, and here they are:

Web browser: Firefox 3
IM: Digsby
Office: Open Office
Firewall: Comodo Firewall Pro
Antivirus and Antispyware: AVG Free 8.0
Video player: VLC
Audio player: Foobar 2000
Zip/Unzip: Izarc
Torrent: utorrent

But especially, PowerISO, Daemon Tools or similars, as the Aspire One doesn't come with a cd/dvd drive and these softwares enable to mount images into a virtual drive.

What about you?

hmmm..... i agree with some of your choices to install. but for my case i'm more interested in using the portable software. since most probably once it's out, i'll get the one with SSD.

I take it that you are talking about U3 style portable apps. I don't know how Windows will handle the SDHC card but in Linux (which I intend to use) it will just be part of the file system so there won't be any need to use special apps.

Don't forget that there will be two card readers. I intend to stick my 16GB SDHC card into the SDHC slot and leave it there more or less permanently. If I need removable media (and I am sure I shall), I'll use the other slot.

Also, if you are intending to use XP (rather than the giant bloated hog that is Vista) I would have thought that 8GB for the system partition and a fair few apps would be plenty.
