Ask HN: New Vista Desktop--what would you install?
The thread on what to install on a fresh Ubuntu install inspired me to create one for Vista. I just got a new desktop and have it dualbooted with Vista SP1 and Ubuntu 8.10. Up until now I've only used Ubuntu/XP.

I'd get the Windows 7 beta. It's really stable, the dock (ahem 'new taskbar') is nice, and UAC is less annoying.
Anyway:
* Poderosa, or Putty Connection Manager. Tabs beat 8000 terminal windows.
* TortoiseSVN or the beta GIT app.
* PowerShell.
* eTextEditor.
* xMing if you need an X display server.
