Software Installation

I’ve been installing the basics for my computer. Here is a quick rundown of the software in my toolbox.

Along with these come a slew of device drivers and the like. I’m sure I’ll remember a thing or two in the upcomming weeks that I forgot as I need them. For now, this is a lot to get me up and running just fine.
I got VS.Net 2k5 a while back when I went to the launch party by Microsoft.  I have been waiting for the rite moment to get a new hard drive for a few months now.  When I got the software, I decided I would wait until I got a new hard drive.  I would rather start with a clean slate and have everything working fine.  I was much impressed by the installation.  It still took a few hours like the previous versions, but I didn’t have to reboot my machine at all.  Amazing.

Visual Studio 2005
