Just interested in what software is the first stuff you install in each new build you run. For me it'd probably be the following:
CPU-Z to make sure settings are right
Chrome or firefox
Digsby for IM
Ultramon since windows still doesnt support multimonitors right! (Sadly, it don't work so well under Win7)
Foxit Reader for pdf support _________________ My Site
