I'm interested in what everyone's priority list is when it comes to installing software after a brand new install. For me, it's video drivers, Firefox, Eclipse, Apache/MySQL/PHP, Python, and Digsby.

Updates and antivirus

Usually it's Google Chrome, drivers, nostromo n52 software, and Steam in that order. Steam usually covers the rest

First thing is updates. Then I get Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin, Winamp, and Office. That's about it, really. Other programs just come as they do.

Updates, Firefox, Avira, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, GIMP, Pidgin (With XFire/Facebook plugins), VLC, then games.

Well this is the order I tend to do it in: - Windows - Updates - Drivers - Firefox + Flash + all my add-ons - Chrome + switch to dev build + extensions - CCleaner - Microsoft Office - Xdn Tweaker - Digsby, or Pidgin if the computer I'm reformatting is ancient. - Dropbox - Notepad++ - Microsoft Security Essentials - CCCP or Shark007 Codecs I also install these, but generally they come later as I need them: - Paint.NET - iTunes - Skype - Foxit Reader - Fences - uTorrent - ImgBurn - Daemon Tools - Steam - Visual Studio

I really wish there was a Steam-like program for installing all of these things. I think I've seen one sort of like it before but it sucked.

Nothing, I just run a few built in updaters to some programs that need it, but it was restored to a saved basic image of all drivers/used programs/games that I made the first time I installed 7 for the first time. The perfect clean state system all setup. Takes no time to go back to said clean state.

The perfect clean state system all setup. Takes no time to go back to said clean state. I used to do that until I realized that builds that I create typically last at a minimum a year, so when I restore from the backup I want to go in and update drivers anyways, or it's a new system so it's invalid. That and I don't tend to tweak for hours like I used to so its kind of pointless to me.

On Windows: Drivers for everything Firefox Thunderbird Taskbar Shuffle Whichever uxtheme patcher is first on Google at the time VLC Everything else just comes as I need it (so does VLC, but after installing Windows I need something to blow off the steam).

I found out about that Ninite site a couple weeks ago. So loving awesome. I almost want to reformat just to try it. Almost. Anyway, these are the 'must haves' that I install first: Updates Firefox (along with a healthy assortment of Add-Ons) Antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentials, lately) Drivers Dropbox Pidgin After that, I install these in no particular order: Zune 7-Zip Media Player Classic - Homecinema ffdshow Haali Media Splitter SABnzbd+ Filezilla Microsoft Office TrueCrypt TeraCopy Recuva ConvertXtoDVD Photoshop Dev-C++
