reinstalling windows xp
Good news, after long time dreaming in a laptop with a graphic card with Pixel Shaders 2.0 (needed for Neon 2.0), today Dell sent me an Inspiron 6000. I ordered it last Sunday. That's quite interesting, as 2 years ago I took like 2/3 weeks to be delivered. This time 3 days.

So, the laptop arrived, and as soon as it was in the office I tried to see if everything was ok. What a bad thing to see all that crap preinstalled in the OS (AOL, BT, Realplayer, Tiscali.. blablabla..) a lot of shitty icons on the desktop, so I started to uninstall them, but then after a reboot there was some errors when Windows was starting and then I was very pissed off. I was also very sourprised as there was no Windows XP CD this time. But after checking everything with more calm at home I realized that there was an application that just burn a CD with it.

Burned, and seconds later I was formating and reinstalling Windows. Now everything is cleaner and better. So things that I install when Windows XP is just installed:

firefox
AVG free version
irfanview
trillian
winamp
winrar
thunderbird

This list is like a suggestion for all of you, and also because I usually don't remember the link for AVG ;)

BTW! God bless freeware! :'D
