Got our snazzy new HP Elitebooks from IT. Nice lil laptops.

Guess how many apps they installed for us off the list of "Applications Devs Need" that was submitted with the original request that they asked us to provide.

Goddamn 0. 0 Apps installed. ”Instead here is admin access, install what you want.”

Being a PC guy I don't mind setting up a new environment but things like Office365 and Adobe CC could of been installed for me, I don't have the licence info offhand so now I gotta bug IT again and why ask for a list if your not going to install any of them?? Ugh. I don't have time to sit here while Adobe installs the whole suite....

What's the first thing you install on your new PC? I find I grab ConEMU first.

    Chrome/FireFox is always my first route.

    @jhh2450 Oh true! Your right first thing was to grab Chrome and sync it. Then it was DL ConEMU.

    Ok so besides getting a browser, that I feel is universal. What's the first thing your grabbing?

    A VMware ESXi ISO so you can dual boot without having to worry about breaking something.

    @tiberius1900 Ah, true I've never run ESXi. Typically if I'm going to duel boot I suck it up and config Grub to work with my Windows install.

    I like Grub for boot management anyways over MS bootloader.
