Jan Kaufmann Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hi MWG, I figured this would be a good way of finding out just how important and popular some programs are to Developers and Gamers. The question here is basically, If you get a new desktop/laptop so on, Or if you have recently formatted your system and have to start over, What are the 5 Must have programs/software that you install almost instantly. (Excludes Adobe flash player, Java, Silverlight so on...) Mine would probably be... Notepad++ Steam Vuze (Great way to stream content to the Xbox 360) Firefox Wamp Server Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRB Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Would have made it 5 but I totally missed the part that said 5. With that said, if only 5 were allowed, it should have been "top 5 programs" and not what we install on a fresh box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniko Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 XAMPP Netbeans Chrome GIMP/Adobe Fireworks Skype Perhaps I'll purchase an external memory unit, backup my entire memory, and do this. (It's pretty messy at the moment) Also, considering I run Windows8, I'd like to add on a hack for a start menu on desktop...it's somewhat mandatory, and shouldn't be included in the five list :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
