Well this should either be a comprehensive list or a list of items people do not have. It looks like you would like option two better. So, then take out iTunes lol.

Thanks mojo, added. Plus, I've been using Opera browser for the most part of today and I have found that I really like it. The interface is great, I may post up a review a bit later.
