Tips for a soon-to-be Windows user?
Essential tools for everyone: Foobar2000, VLC (exclude Windows Media), Chrome/Firefox (remove IE), MS Office/Libreoffice, TeraCopy, MalwareBytes, WinRAR/7zip. Recommended additions: Steam (games), Adobe CC 2014 or GIMP/Lightworks (video/photo), FFMpeg (audio/video), Putty (SSH), Daemon Tools (ISOs), Deluge (BitTorrent), FLAC with frontend, CuteFTP/Filezilla (FTP/SFTP), LAME (MP3), SoX (audio).
Check out ninite and see what others say about it. Get CCleaner. LibreOffice works well if you don’t want to use MS Office (it’s included in Ninite). Sublime Text is my top choice for coding and similar tasks. As you spend more time on Windows, you’ll likely download extra programs. For torrenting, try UTorrent or Vuze—just avoid illegal files. FormatFactory is great for file conversion. Make sure you also have Steam installed.
