I have a list of software that I prefer to install on Windows systems 
[even though I prefer Linux].

That list included LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, and a few 
Image/Graphics software, Then I add the security software that I prefer 
to use.

That service does not include much of what I would add to a new system 
or suggest to users for their systems.
