Essential Software for Windows

]]>

You know the old routine – You get a new machine and then you spend weeks looking for and installing all the applications, tools, utilities, etc that you had on your old computer that made you so productive. There is always that utility that you use once in a while but you just can’t seem to find it.

I recently bought a new computer and decided to make a list of all the software I installed on the new computer so that I’m ready to do this again for my next machine. I wish I had discovered Belarc Advisor before I rebuilt my old desktop as a Linux (Ubuntu) desktop. So here is a fairly complete list of what’s installed on my machine and if you see something that I should have, please leave me a comment:
The Essentials

Development

Audio, Video & Graphics

Browsers & Extensions

Utilities

Java 6.0 (MUSTANG) jumps the shark

]]>

Am I the only one that thinks that Sun has completely lost its mind and jumped the shark? Is Graham Hamilton still making these decisions? First they stick a JavaScript interpreter inside the VM and then they add an http server on top of that and now they want to stick a database inside the VM – WTF? Why don’t we stick a whole IDE in there? Oh wait. They do that already. Try to download the JDK and if you’re not paying attention, you’re likely to get NetBeans rammed down your throat. Nothing against NetBeans as it really has improved with stiff competition from Eclipse but I just want the f***ing JDK and NOT Glassfish, NetBeans, Derby, Rhino and any other piece of crap they can shove in there before Mustang goes GA. And then people are wondering why people are running to Ruby and PHP and other languages? Give me a break.

I though Jonathan Schwartz would finally take the company in the right direction after they jettisoned that moron Scott McNealy but seems like nothing has really changed at Sun.

As always, these are just my opinions and do not necessarily reflect the views of anyone else.
