I just had to reformat my computer. It's running 64-bit vista (please, no flames).

I already have installed the following:

  • all necessary drivers

  • all necessary Windows updates

  • avg antivirus

  • firefox

  • flash

  • peazip archiver, quickpar

  • pdf reader (foxit)

  • skype

  • truecrypt

  • thunderbird

  • itunes

  • vmware

  • anydvd

  • some sort of video-to-ipod-touch converter

  • newsleecher

  • openoffice

  • steam, impulse

  • Nero, for burning CD's and DVD's


Anything I'm missing that should be considered essential software for a fresh install? I want to make an image so I don't have to go through all this hassle next time I want to reformat.
