That's not really essential software for a new computer unless you're Edward Snowden or you're in China.

revision on description of origin? i know its legit hating on ea but their customer service is actually far better than steam's and so it seems fanboyish to suck steam off and basically bitch at origin haha

It's one of my favorite websites to go to once I reinstall my OS because it creates one download launcher for all of those different programs, fully updated. It is a legitimate site that I've used numerous times, and you will find it is very reputable.

I think MS Security essentials belongs on that list! Great light weight antivirus that keeps thing smooth..

Cygwin should be on all windows computers.

I don't lke iTunes, its very laggy for me and I have more than decent enough cpu..

I agree, Itunes always gives me problems. Freezes my computer and such so I tend to just use an app from the AppStore which lets me download music but its quite limited. There is also apps for your computer which allow you to download YT music and put it on your ipod in your music section.

Should add the "do I need this" program gives you a brief description of everything installed and if you can delete it without consequences

Have most of these or alternates to them, Id have to argue that notepad++ isn't necessarily "essential". But nevertheless very helpful, thanks!

This list seems geared towards regular users for reverse-engineers they need a lot more imo.
