I just got a brand new desktop
I don't know what programs to download
You guys know any useful programs?
I already have Nero and Microsoft Enterprise

Well it depends on what the computer is being used for...

Just in general
Some good useful programs

Messenger Plus!
An antivirus if you're a newb?

ahah, have and have

Don't download programs for the sake of downloading programs. Just download what you need, when you need...

Agreed.

Although i download what i need, when i need and now after about 3 or 4 years of no re-formatting my pc is as slow as a turtle. I suggest not downloading things just because you can, but seeing what you ACTUALLY need, and not something thats going to be used once then thrown away or uninstalled, and downloading it. Otherwise your computer will start slowing down and causing you problems real fast, like mine did.

just install what you used most on your last pc

maybe an office suite?
openoffice.org is free
or did you mean Microsoft Office Enterprise in your first post?

Or you could just suggest some programs like he asked. Who knows he might find your suggestion very useful.

Maybe something that tweaks the OS..? I used Winbubble to tweak my Vista install. Can be downloaded here. Obviously this is just for Windows Vista.

Forget what everyone else is saying go nuts!

Get like the Lop.Com Toolbar, Smiley Central, New.Net lol clearly I am kidding and if you take this advice I may have a tendency to point out the newbness.

Everyone is right don't download just for the sake of doing it.

Be smart, save your bandwidth! (lol sounds like an ING commercial).
