Installing only PDI's software is the safest thing. My impression is that PDI is running CE windows, because other programs have built in requirements such as a monitor. Now we really don't want to have to lug around big monitors with our nice portable units, now do we? In addition, there are few viruses written to attack CE windows. That makes us safer online, see? Those popular windows programs are more likely to be attacked by viruses. At least that's my impression. Check that section of the manual you quoted. You'll see some of what I mean, at least about the overhead. Hope this helps.
