Q&A: Which software should I choose to have installed in a laptop I’m buying?
Question by PiscesPassion: Which software should I choose to have installed in a laptop I’m buying?
Ok, I’m buying this laptop for temporary usage while I’m out of the country for 3-6mos. I just started a small advertising business online, so I need it to keep my website and directory “updated”.
The ad says “Additional Software available for FREE! Just tell me what you want loaded on!” and these are the options…
DVD- VIDEO SOFTWARE:
Movies 2 Go
Video Studio 6
Nero 6
Nero 7
Media Show
WinDVD
PUBLISHING/GRAPHICS SOFTWARE:
Desktop Publisher
ClipArt Warehouse
Greeting Card Magic
ResumePro
PHOTO SOFTWARE:
MS Digital Image Suite
Photo Explorer (Cool360)
Camera Suite 1.3
Photo Impression
Photo Express Deluxe
Photo Album 6 (Corel)
MISC.:
Quicken 2002
Naturally Speaking
Stuff It
My question is… Can someone help me make a decision as to “which” software is good to have?
I’m particularly interested in software that’ll help me with the building/upgrading of my website… but if there’s other stuff that’d be great to have, please also let me know =)
Much thx!!!

If you need a software to build / upgrade your website, i would recommend Microsoft Office Publisher. It’s kind of simple software, easy to learn to use.
