WMP11 is crap
K-Lite is overkill; get gspot and find the codecs you need as you usually only need divx/xvid

You need to get Thunderbird (if you use outlook/express) and VLC
Avast/AVG for virus; Spyware Terminator/Spybot for Spyware
Acrobat Reader
Nero

Still won't use it as it installs codecs you don't need :shrug:

People only ever really need divx or xvid and if you need something obscure its a odd movie.

The thread topic hurts my soul.

I'm assuming so since WMP11 and WinRar don't work on Linux and WMP11 doesn't work on Mac(I think)
