Software you might want to install on any Windows-Laptop
When you configure a new system these software products might help in getting you up and working.
That said, we sometimes fear lawyers, so let's speak the age-old formula to banish them: eLib.at and it's editors are no security, legal or privacy experts, cannot take liability or responsibility for anything following the install of software provided at pages under these links and we cannot know about local rules and regulations - please check with someone knowledgeable if software and examples are legal.
