Light-weight Alternetives for the Bloated and Annoying apps listed: Real Player: VLC Adobe Acrobat Reader: FoxitPDF Norton Anti-Virus: AVG and/or MalwareBytes MSN Messenger (Eww..most annoying!)Pidgin or GAIM Vista UAC: No Alt due to the whole OS Stinks!!! Bring on Windows 7 and put Vista to rest!!
