Software for my t101mt

First thing I intend to do (and am currently doing) is uninstall all the 'extras' the a store bought PC comes with. And go through all the things that load at startup and see what I can trim back.
Then load up
  • Office 2010 (especially Onenote)
  • Some parts of Asus tools (eg Penwrite which has palm rejection)
  • Show/Hide Asus PenWrite
  • TabletTools - set of finger-friendly control tools
  • Flicks2 -  extend built-in Windows 7's flicks to take multiple flicks
  • Firefox as well as some touchscreen friendly addons - Blumpit, Grab and Drag, User Agent Switcher
    • As well as my standard addons - Addblocker plus, better gmail, better greader, MinimizeTo Tray revivied, flashblock (check if necessary now), DownThemAll
  • try out some of the touch screen interface tools such as Asus Touchgate, Blue Dolphin and others I find
  • ereader software ReadThemAll for Windows and others to try out.
  • I may try out Chrome with the chromeTouch extension and see how it compares to firefox.
  • test out MMCE for Comic books
I've been considering wiping the HDD and loading things from scratch. Just discovered a tool called RT Se7en Lite, which allows you to make a lite/customise a version of Windows 7. I'm going to have a play with it and see if I can come up with my own build for the the netbook.

    My new netbook

    I've taken the plunge and purchased a Asus T101MT netbook. It's what is known as a tablet netbook. It's just turned up at the office. The site I bought it from still had a status of "Distributor Processing Order" so I was surprised when it arrived. Only took a couple of days after I paid for it.
