I've already given examples, over and over and over.

On Windows, I would install a number of my favorite apps I used on Linux
(as long as not blacklisted by the Corporate Rules), plus apps needed for work
that the Corporation did not supply.

    -   VLC
    -   GIMP
    -   ImageMagick
    -   Git Bash
    -   Python and Java
    -   vim and gvim
    -   Doxygen (needed for generating documentation)
    -   Graphviz (ditto)
    -   Evince (only used Adobe for signing documents)
    -   Qtcreator and Mingw
    -   Dia
    -   Etherape, nmap, and wireshark (all later put on the blacklist)
    -   VirtualBox
    -   Firefox, Chrome, and/or Chromium

There are other apps I use on Linux that I would have preferred to the
alternatives on Windows, but they aren't built for Windows.
