I posted last week the list of software I installed in wave 1.  Here is the software I have had to install since then.  I guess these are the “should have software”
 

1. Axialis Icon Workshop
2. Foxit
3. Google Earth - I really only downloaded this because I wanted to see Santa.
4. Google Desktop - I downloaded this because there was a new version out.  The UI is incredibly improved over the last version.  No need to wait for Vista’s sidebar - Google’s Desktop gives you the sidebar running on Windows XP.   To be fair, though, I haven’t been a big fan of either the Microsoft or Google offering.  This version is much better, but unless you’ve got dual monitors like me, I suspect you won’t want to give up the precious screen real estate.  To see the coolest feature ever, though, be sure to install and hit ctrl-ctrl (control key twice).  Fantastic!
5. Cygwin
6. Yahoo Toolbar - I really have no idea how this got on my system.  Those Yahoo folk are tricky!
