A good list.. I also read a list in Lifehacker which had a bit high sized softwares but the list was good.
All these softwares are essential and they should be always there within a USB drive which can be used for any new laptop purchase and installation.

@Shankar, I will review the software he had recommende by downloading it once on one of my pc and the write a review of the same. Problem is on a quick check it shows that they even install torrent softwares which are disliked by many.

Mr Amit,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Earlier the better on your checking.
Mr Avinash,
I am already a subscriber to your blog and I know the Liberkey. Since you have used the words -bundled installer- I thought by single click one can download and activate in one go.
