Is Santa bringing you a new computer this year? Lucky you! For us productive entrepreneurs, there's nothing quite like starting up a new computer with a fresh slate. It's probably faster, has some cool features, and will increase your productivity for 2009.
That being said, it can also be quite a chore to install all of your required software, and expensive, too. You also need to be sure you computer and data are completely protected from viruses, spyware, hackers, trojans - all those nasty little bugs that can really destroy your day!
At download.com, CNET offers 2 useful starter packages, and they apply whether your computer is new or not. You can get the Windows Starter Kit, which includes recommended programs that are free, as well as the Security Starter Kit, another group of recommended free software. Check them out!
What software program have you found that really increases your productivity? I'd love to hear about it - maybe we productive entrepreneurs can make a list of our own!
