What's On My Box?

  • Article

It has been fifteen months since I last reformatted this machine. In that time, I've read hundreds of thousands of emails, installed countless alpha/beta/CTP software, multiple SKUs of Visual Studio, many video editing programs, and much more.

 

It's gotten to the point now where even creating a new file, opening Office programs and other simple tasks can be the stuff of nightmares. Thusly, much like my pal Clint Rutkas, I've decided to make a list of the baseline apps I keep installed on my laptop PC.
