    I install some set of *nix command utilities and process explorer at a bare minimum.

    Also, on XP systems I disable any theming and use the windows classic coloration. Vista just doesn't look or work right without the Aero theme so I can't do that on Vista without going almost completely nuts.

    Also forgot, I install Chrome. (Used to be Firefox but Chrome is nicer out of the box)

    I always install the following to make it easier to manage and interact with windows

    • Taskix - Reorder buttons in your Windows taskbar
    • KatMouse - scroll the window directly beneath the mouse cursor
    • WinSplit Revolution - organize your windows by tiling, resizing and positioning them
    • allSnap - windows automatically snap to window edges and (optionally) the edges of other windows

    I install Cygwin to have *nix command line tools and Xemacs to have a useful editor.
