That's it for now.
I know it's a huge list but I think most of the users will appreciate the above mentioned softwares as most of them are general, useful, everyday softwares.
Also, I think u should take a look at this site:
*www.softwarepatch.com
It's a great site & gives a list of all the latest available drivers, softwares, games, etc. U can get a very fair idea of what to give in the CD/DVD.
One flaw in your system of giving out softwares I (or shall I say many) have noticed is that u still give out many of the outdated softwares on CD/DVD. Many useful, needy, updated softwares that have been released for months are still being left out. Why?
So, plz try to implement my suggestion(s) & try to give whichever softwares possible in December issue. Urgent ones are definitely on high priority.
