You can probably exchange DVD shrink (no longer updated) for AnyDVD and CloneDVD2.

How about....he is asking for anything he has missed out. He as obviously chosen for example that he wants TS over vent. so.....yeah. (Good choice by the way! )

I think you should also get Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy and CCleaner. All great for keeping your pc sexy.

Thats just my ideas!

Windows MCE 2005 IS Windows Pro btw (evident by the fact that you can use TS to connect to it remotely)

Flash/Shockwave
Java VM
.NET Framework
Adobe Reader

All free downloads, all minor - but all irritating as hell when you don't have it and have to go out of your way to go get it/set it up. Be conscious of EVERYthing you install and watch for "agents" and "quickstart" features that will spam your system at startup. Of the above, Java and Adobe both check automatically for updates and install systray icons and a quickstart agent respectively. Quicktime has a systray agent as well and a registry boot entry.

Don't use McAffe. Its like Windows an Evil Software.

I recommend Antivir. Its free, so it wont rape your moneybag and its more saver.

Get it here: http://www.free-av.de/

And you should get a firewall. Some say ZoneAlarm is quite good (I personally don't like it), so I use Outpost Firewall > http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/ It was free a couple months ago. If u cant find a free DL, I could send u mine.

Then don't forget Photoshop cs 2

As torrent client, i prefer Bittorrent, v 4.1.1 In this version, u could vary the Upload speed by hand. So u can download with full speed, but upload very slow. For example while u are playing u wont have a higher ping.

Why media center over XP Pro? just curious about that.

DUmeter (tracks size of data that is uploaded and downloaded through your connection doesn't take up much memory)

Torrents

BitLord I think is blacklisted from some trackers. utorrent or ABC are great. utorrent doesnt take up much memory at all.

get BLM: Block List Manager ( makes a list for torrent programs to block bad IPs from your PC)
