Windows XP Starter Kit

I can sense another imminent failure of our crappy Dell Inspiron 5150, so I'm setting out a list of software installed on this 'computer' to help with future re-installs:

• Windows XP (have the install DVD!)
• Dell drivers (Sigmatel C-Major Audo, Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller, Dell Wireless 1450 WLAN - R61603 R89437 R151517)
• NVidia drivers (Geforce GX Go5200)
• AVG Anti-Virus Free
• Google Chrome
• Adobe Flash
• Adobe Reader
• Microsoft Office (have the install DVD!)
• 7-zip
• BurnAware Free
• K-Lite Codec Pack
• Windows Media Player 11
• Zune Desktop Theme (darker themes use less power!)
• Internode Monthly Usage Meter

Alternatively, I may just give up on Microsoft and give Kubuntu 10.04 a try.  Or on the other hand, maybe it's time to put the second child to work.
