One of the most satisfying things about my new laptop (Dell XPS M1210) is to have before me a completely clean system (after removing all the apps that Dell regretfully sends preinstalled). In an attempt to keep the system clean for as long as possible I only wanted to install the essentials. So what are the essential applications that I require to have running in my system? Below is the list of my 25 required applications:
| Essential Apps | Personal | Graphics/Web | Work |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adobe Acrobat | Mobile Phone Tools | Adobe Dreamweaver | AT&T Global Network Dialer |
| Ad-Aware | Quicken 2006 | Adobe Fireworks | Cisco Systems VPN Client |
| RegscurbXP | Juice | Adobe Flash | Pervasive/Spring |
| MS Office Pro | Babylon | Adobe Photoshop | - |
| Coopernic Desktop Search | DAP | PHP/MySQL | - |
| Skype | DVD Region Free | - | - |
| FireFox | INFO Transport FS | - | - |
| Symantec Antivirus | MS OneNote | - | - |
| - | Gismo Project | - | - |
This is what I am going to start out with, we will see how long it lasts before the list begins to grow.
What are your essential applications?
