Lifehacker (lifehacker.com) is a productivity site that I frequent. Every year the put out a list of free applications for windows and call it the Lifehacker Pack 2010. The most recent list is out.

Lifehacker Pack 2010

This is a great list of applications that any windows user should use. From burning cd’s / Dvd’s to tools to re-install your computer software. Over the years I have found that I automatically use most of these tools. Happy Installing.

I love the new version of IIS. One of the great elements of Server 2008 is that it has IIS7 installed. A great aspect of the new IIS is that you can now run very common applications (wordpress, and photo gallery) on Windows. These applications are PHP based and typically are hosted on Linux Servers. IIS 7 allows for you to host these applications on Windows with some great performance

A new tool from microsft allows you to install all of these applications with little or no configuration.
(Web Application Installer) http://www.microsoft.com/web/channel/products/WebApplicationInstaller.aspx

Applications: DotNetNuke, Drupal, Gallery, Graffiti CMS, osCommerce, phpBB, WordPress

Give it a try. Works on Vista sp1 and Server 2008
