Since installing Linux Mint I no longer have spyware/virus issues and have system stability. I have access to 30,000 open source software programs and it’s totally customizable without any restrictions. Don’t think I will ever need to go back to Windows.

Thanks for spotting the mistake! I didn’t realize this limit was dropped and obviously relied on an outdated source of information.

Windows 7 Starter doesn't have the three app limit like you mentioned. It was rumored but dropped before Windows 7 was released last year.

I’ve been using Win7 Home Premium since March and must say I’m totally pleased. My experience is with Photo Editing (Corel), CD Burning(Roxio), Video (ProShow) and of course the web ( Firefox & Chrome). For me all programs work smoothly & quickly. Win7 is a major improvement over Vista. I don’t see any reason to move up the Windows ladder.

I am a extension nut. Every now and then I eliminate some only to find out about another and install. I have 50 ! However, I have eliminated most that relate to bookmarks because I now use “Tidy Favorites”. A very cool program that I have 190 bookmarks placed on.

I also agree with Menu Editor. Works great and removes 80% of the clutter.

My Google Notebook does save pictures — I have a huge notebook that has about 30 pictures in it. Weird.

Thanks for this interesting post!
I agree that sometimes – less is more. But as you mentioned a few plugins are must-haves. On my top-list their is another developer extension:

Firebug – It helps you to edit and debug websites in real-time.

And yes, I also was one of those install-everything-and-see-whats-happening guys until I realized that there are only a few really essential addons.

Yeah, colorful tabs helps only when you have lots of open tabs. I usually have 20-30 tabs running (sometimes up to 90) so it’s really invaluable to me.
