It's been almost a year since I've done a clean install of my laptop. It's definitely ready to be re-rolled. I've got 8gb free (out of 20), but when I look at my Start Menu I see a lot of stuff I never use. I think I've actually got VS 6 installed. I haven't done anything with it all year, so it's definitely a candidate for NOT being reinstalled.
I've also been running as an “admin” user, so this will give me the opportunity to run with “least privilege”. I know it'll suck, but I'm gonna give it a try.
So, what software will I install?
WinXP Pro w/SP2
VS.NET 2003
Office 2003
- Outlook with Lookout, SpamBayes and PFBackup (and I may install the Business Contact Manager again).
- Excel
- Word
- OneNote
MindManager X5 Pro
CodeSmith 2.6
Project
Visio
AVG Anti-virus (free edition)
SmartFTP
Vault (required by a client)
VSS (required by another client)
BCL easyPDF
DocClear
HyperSnap DX
Trillian
ActiveSync (for my PocketPC)
Nunit / Ndoc
Delphi (version 1 for a client)
SQL Server Developer
WinZip
Diskeeper
eFax Messenger (great service!)
ViM
4NT
Reflector
Oh yea...and I'll probably install the full MSDN Library.
All in all, this should take a day to do. I'll probably tackle it on Saturday afternoon.
