suryad Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I think there was a similar thread called"light programs" or something.....basically meaning programs that are not resource hungry. Forgot the title but it was pretty recent so eyeballying the titles would get you the link I wa talking about.But I use IE, MS anti spyware, Nero 6 .6, Cyberlink PowerDVD 6, Adobe Professional 7, OpenOffice, Executive Diskkeeper, CCleaner, System Mechanic, Winamp, WMP, Winrar, Picassa2, Notepad++, Google talk, Google accelerator, Trillian Pro, Quicktime, Outlook Express I have left installed just in case I can install future versions of MS Office...thats it.

B)I only keep the "must-have" programs installed on my computer. Anything that I'm testing goes into a VM (hence one of the reasons I have VMware), and if it's good enough, then I'll install it.
