A fairly wide selection of general-purpose applications are installed on the Windows systems

This wiki page may not be kept up to date at all times. For exact details of the software load on a given PC, look at the file C:\relnotes.txt, which contains a detailed list of changes.

Please do not install any of your own software on the Windows PCs. Normal user accounts lack sufficient permissions to fully install new software, so the installation will often not work properly. The Windows computers are also reinstalled fairly regularly, so any nonstandard programs will be lost.
