Reinstalling Windows 8

For no apparent reason, my Windows 8 installation just stopped working.  No amount of automated recovery was working, so I just reinstalled. Decided to make a list of the must have apps that I install to make the bloody thing useful again. First thing was Total Commander 8.  Can't live without it. Also, Classicshell to make the Start Button behave. 7Zip to handle archives Nero for burning (wanted to use CDBurnerXP freeware instead, but needed some extra's). Chrome (restores sanity after the 15 minutes I had to use IE) I have Office 2013, but holding off on installing it for now.  Putty (I've missed you!)  My 3 servers are all headless, so I need putty just to log in and run some updates, etc.  Being Linux boxes, they're all fine.  They've been ticking over just fine as Windows decides to crap itself... FooBar2000 VLC. Steam (can't live without it) Now it's reboot, update, reboot, install, reboot, etc, until everything is happy.

Yawn apple.

Yawn apple. More spin and nothing I'm interested in. Even my wife is not going to bite this time. Sad. Really. Stock seems to have dropped but hype will save it again I guess. Come on September 25. Daddy needs a note 3.
