Two new softwares I've installed, to my satisfaction:
- Internet Explorer 7 Beta
The interface is a huge improvement from the previous versions. Notably, the toolbars are trimmer and more compact. They must have some pretty accurate user feedback. Tabbed browsing comes a little late, when Opera has been doing it for years. Well, it's still a welcome improvement since I do like using IE. - Google Desktop
The linux world has many more interesting desktop enhancements, but since I predominantly use Windows now, Google Desktop is pretty cool. One good thing about being a Google app is that settings can be linked to your Google account, so that they can be retrieved when you use Desktop on another computer. I wish it is more customisable though.
