I figured I'd do a little series of posts about which applications I install on my PC after a reinstall, and in what order. Mostly I thought it would be a nice idea for my own reference, maybe compare it to an update list in a few years and see what the changes are.

This is definately something that will need several posts, probably I'll do one or two apps pr posting, and I'll use this post to keep an updated index of the posts.

The order of the list is based on notes I made the last time I reinstalled both my home and work PCs, and will contain a "consolidated" list, some things I might install on the home PC, some on the work PC, and most of it on both. Where it makes sense I'll mention if it applies to just one of them. I'm including assorted utilities and helper apps, but I'm leaving out drivers and such. Still, some tools might be more or less hardware specific.

So, time to get on with the list! And the first thing that gets installed on all my computers is...
