I was pleased to see those in your list. I consider them absolutely indispensable on my installations.

I've been in touch with the author of GFIE Pro, and he says he's getting close to having the latest revision beta ready for testing by volunteers. I'm hoping to be one. It's a grrrrreat program.

I guess time will tell if they can find a way in the future to defeat MS's block but folks probably shouldn't get their hopes up.

Paraphrasing the legendary Mork (the great late Robin Williams), what happens if you don't have a "must have" app?

Does your pc get nuked until you comply?

It was a joke. Title is "Must Have".

I always want a partitioning tool, but I don't entirely care which. Same applies to video tools etc. I have preferences for each, but that is not same as "Must Have".

Take it as a figure of speech, then. I also have a "must have" dream house, the front door is kind of small, but the house itself is good for forum parties (y)

Hopefully it comes with an app that you can use to dust all the Venetian chandeliers.

Personally I don't install any "Apps" at all - The only one I actually use more than very occasionally, is "My Phone" and then the occasional use of others, only to see if it's as good as my chosen "Application" that does the task currently, None have yet made the grade

I use android apps on my phone which is fine as that is what they were designed for and I know that "app" is used as shorthand for application, but I've not seen many that live up to "Real Applications" in use
