Hey.

I've installed Vista Ultimate several days ago.. (Used to have Home Premium).

Its doing good for me, no doubt.

I installed everything I could think of, but I still want more Applications, gadgets, etc.

What is some stuff to get thats a must have?

I have:
IE8,Opera,Safari,Google Chrome, Firefox.
DreamWeaver, Photoshop (Both CS4) and Elements 7.0.
I have Nero Ultra edition 7.
Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007.
WinRAR & Quicktime (Both PRO). - WinRAR is 3.80.

People have suggested:
(Suggestions go here, so we don't have repeats).



Thanks guys, I really appreciate it, I might not know some of the neat stuff out there that isn't well advertised.

Thanks Brink! I will definitely check out the list.

But I'm also looking for some applications that I could pay for, but they really pay for themselves. You know what I mean?

If its a great addition, I will pay for it.

Blu-ray BD-RE optical
Powerdvd Ultra 8
BURNCDCC (iso burner/image maker)
Tv Tuner for Media center
BSOD debugger

note-Nero is superfluous as it performs the same thing Windows does built-in.

Check out if you love little gadgets.

Lots of stuff programmed using AutoHotKey. Some are small single purpose,
and some are complicated. There's even a Coding Snacks forum where
you can request simple programs made to order. :party:
