Install your OS once a month? Anyone who does that doesn't know how to use windows, and then I must wonder what real unix/linux skills you have if you can't even keep your windows xp running well. I'm on my second install(since release) and thats only because of a ibm deskstar failure and my os still runs very fast, but in regards to your post and trying to ignore stupid fact you reinstall your os once a month. These are apps i install, winrar, winamp, googlebar, ms office, msn messenger, nero, mirc, adaware, stylexp, sharaza.
