Actually, the first thing I install on a new computer is Linux
(OpenSuse, usually), then put Windows in the virtual machine, if I need it.
But, to Drew's question, consider APRSIS32 for APRS use. There's even
some satellite tracking capability, so you know what other APRS stations
are within a satellite's footprint.
Also, FLDIGI sound-card digital software, and MMSSTV for slow-scan TV.
Oh, and the AO-27 schedule prediction software.
Enjoy the new computer; I'm looking to do the same soon. Mine is getting
senile (forgetting it has one of the disks)...

Think about getting Virtualbox (www.virtualbox.org). If you can
migrate your physical hard drive to a virtual one, you can run your XP
environment almost forever. Also when you move machines in the future,
the OS wont matter, all you need to do is move the virtual machine and
you are done.

downloaded and installed:
SatPC32 (still working on the speech error problem)
MixW 3
HDR 5.sumthing
Spectravue

What must have ham radio programs, especially satellite/vhf/uhf, do
you have and recommend?
