What do you need installed on your laptop?

I run Windows 7, and have just reinstalled the OS; and I always start with the folder of applications I used the last time. In this folder I keep the latest version of the applications I install. But the list increases; so I try not to install everything when I reinstall the OS. What is your minimum application list? Mine is as follows:

• Antivirus/firewall: Symantec (currently running: SEP 11.0)
• VPN: Lotus Mobile Connect (currently running 6.1)
• Microsoft Office 2010 Beta (including Visio, Project and Sharepoint)
• Lotus Notes (with Symphony) (Currently version 8.5.M2)
• Lotus Sametime 8.5 (internal chat client for IBM, AOL/gchat and VoIP)
• SwiftFile (a nice add-on to lotus notes to manage my email)
• Microsoft Live Messenger (latest version)
• Java, Flash, Adobe, CutePDF-printer, itunes and Nero Express.

This is my list. There are several tools I will install when I need it, like DVD backup tools, WinDVD or whatever tool I need for a specific project. But the basic list is what I will include in a ghost copy of my drive. What is on your list?
