WFU Thinkpad Standard Software Load
Here at Wake Forest University, we are fortunate to have a wonderful set of software tools available to us, pre-installed on the University-owned Thinkpads. Unfortunately, wading through all of these programs to determine which tools is right for a given task can be daunting. Even if you know what tool you'd like to use, it can be time consuming to figure out if it's already there, or if you need to install it.
We've provided a list of the software included in the Standard Load, with a short description of what it is.
