Google Chrome
Trillian
OpenOffice
TortoiseSVN
Daemon Tools
(**I'll need to restart at this point**)
Visual Studio 2005 (Or Newer)
Adobe Flash CS3 (Or Newer)
Adobe Photoshop CS2 (Or Newer)
Autodesk Maya 8.5 (Or Newer)
(**And this point**)
Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst
Valve Steam Client
YVD 9.0 (Or Other Dueling Application)

And the latest versions of Java's Runtime Environment, Flash Player, Microsoft's DirectX SDK, Platform SDK, the .NET Developer Framework.

So yeah, that's all that comes to mind.

The past three, maybe four computers I have bought already have Windows installed. I reset this one totally (OK; I ended up paying someone to do it, then realised what they'd done and was like "I could've just bought a new Hard Drive you douche. ¬_¬) and that's all I did.

Unless you count Flashplayer. Then add that.
