Windows Software

As I mentioned yesterday, I had to rebuild my PC this week, which included a clean install of Vista and all my other software. So here’s my list of some essential programs for Windows. Anyone have any other suggestions they would add to this list?

  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Mozilla Thunderbird (email)
  • Office
  • Google Picasa (photos)
  • Exact Audio Copy (CD ripper) with LAME (MP3 encoder)
  • Tag & Rename (MP3 tagger)
  • iTunes & Quicktime

This next one is not essential, but I wanted to test out a game on the new PC and ended up downloading Trackmania Nations Forever. This has to be one of the best free games in history - basically it’s a racing game with a range of extreme tracks and online racing - all for free. I enjoyed the previous version of this game but it wouldn’t run on Vista so it’s nice to have an updated version that works. If you like racing games or just want something to help you waste a few minutes then definitely download this game. Here’s a YouTube trailer for it…
