Let’s all do the reinstalling windows dance!

It’s been well over a year since the last time I reinstalled windows on my desktop. Late in 2005 I was playing around with UPnP networking in Windows for DC++ and I think I seriously screwed something up with Windows networking, I never get an upload speed more than 4k (GO FASTER! OMG! 4k AND I’M GOING TO THROW YOU OUT THE WINDOW! MY WIFI LAPTOP GETS 40k UPSTREAM! I’M GOING COMPLETELY MAD!), I get green lights on torrents, but for some reason I can’t get any ports to fully qualify as being “open”. Needless to say this isn’t adequate.

A few weeks back I downloaded the Windows Vista RC2 but I haven’t tried it out, so I think I am going to get that rolling on my desktop (the Gigantor), but I don’t want to go through the hassle of reinstalling everything. I remember seeing on Digg an application package that contained all of your favorite free applications in one easy install, so it would go through and install Firefox 2, and AVG Free, and Trillian, and iTunes, but now I can’t find that story and Google sure isn’t helping. If you know where I can find that please let me know.
