Hi all
I had a discussion with a friend (yes I do have one) about what essential software that would go on a friends PC if you have just done a clean install for them. To me he was putting on unnecessary software, but software he uses, not what other people might want/need. So I'm wondering what would you install before handing back a PC to a friend? Obviously Windows fully patched and drivers up to date.
I would
Adobe Flash
Adobe Air
Adobe Shockwave
Java
Nitro PDF reader (I explain its just like Adobe reader)
Their choice of internet security, or at least free one if they don't want to pay.
Also I ask if they want Chrome or Firefox adding if they know they are. (Shock my Dad does like Chrome)
I also offer to install and patch any software they want/use. Most want Office for free so that is a no. Others like the printer setup so I do that when I drop it off. Anything else to up to them unless they have really good cookies to go with the coffee.
Interest to hear what you would use/install
