Back to Windows

I recently switched back to using Windows 8.1 after several years of *nix-based operating systems (Ubuntu, OS X). Windows 8.1 has some "design flaws". Here are my recommend installs to fix them:

• Google Chrome (64 bit)
• Cygwin (64 bit)
• Clover 3: multi-tab functionality in Windows Explorer
• Pokki: brings back the start menu on Windows 8
• Launchy: nothing close to Alfred for Mac, but sometimes does the job
• f.lux
• Spotify
• Notepad++, Sublime Text, GVim
• Git with Git Bash
• Java
• Adobe Reader

PS: First blog post in quite a while, maybe I am back from my blogging hiatus!
