Acrobat reader - yep have it version what ever on the laptop but I also have acrobat forms I use so I need the reader. I have on my home computer Acrobat 5.0 pro which I use to make the forms with.
iTunes, I use that right now on the laptop because well I never got around to moving things to another player. It does not give me any real problem, the laptop and MS S&T makes up for that.
Real player, it is somewhere here but who cares, it only pops up when I can't use some other program to listen to what ever I listen to.
IE, I got no choice, Landstar developed their entire websites around IE and it is a killer for me to use. I wish companies would not fall into the trap that everyone uses IE.
Outlook? Which version of outlook? outlook express? the real outlook with all the bells and whistles? I use outlook (the real deal) with my laptop because of the 35 email accounts I used to deal with, now there are only three. I built my rules and policies around the email accounts and won't change to anything else. There is not a real hit on performance with either computer but outlook express there is. I think a lot of people use the preview pain (yes it is spelled to mean PAIN) to read the email but they also load a cr*p load of pictures and animated gifs during the previews and that takes up power to run all that cr*p.
I have installed thunderbird but I am not really happy with the new feature of crashing everything I open an attachment.

my dell was very slow when opening. my son pointed out that many programs were installed to open when the computer was booting up. he made them open upon demand. if you go back an make them open when selected your speed will return.
