I personally hate Windows. And there is no one reason for it. The registry hiccups, the memory leaks, the startup jams, etc. I don’t think the list will ever end if I sit down and seriously think about it. But this is not what this post is all about.
It’s about the applications that give us a quaint little feeling that somehow using Windows is after all justified ;) These applications range from web apps to utilities and tools for windows. They don’t occupy much of the memory and prove to be very useful many times.
Its important that you choose which applications are more useful to you for 2 reasons :
1. You don’t want to be clogging up your task bar with a no. of icons which not only eat up space but also take up memory ( unless you have a widescreen 19″ monitor and 2 gig memory like me :D. And even then I have to be careful. )
2. As if the startup in windows wasn’t already slow enough, they can make it even more painful for you, that is, if you don’t keep them under a check.
