Hi.. apart from above mentioned "MUST" software .. their numerous other softwares which are needed like

Outlook Express/ Thunderbird - for accessing mail

IE / Fire Fox - for surfing net

AVG / Norton - Antivirus

NERO - for buring CDs

Zonealarm - Firewall

Acrobat Read / Foxit - PDF file reader

WinZip / WinRar - compression Software

Computax / etds etc

U can also use Reminder Softwares etc ..

====================

Regarding OS - Vista Rocks ... But make sure u have atleast 1 GB Ram in order to make most out of VISTA

welll..it depends on work of CA... for tax purposes computax...is good and others as mentioned by S. Jain BSNL broadband connection is the best ever...u will get what plan and speed u want...much cheaper... Win Xp is far better than vista since many software are not compitable with Win Vista..
