The softwares that you will need depend on what type of business you plan to have. There are many businesses that would require industry-standard programs. But the most common software for any business is an e-mail program.
In e-mails, the standard for most computers is Microsoft Outlook. It is the most common choice for a lot of companies. However, this program is not really user friendly, and there are definitely problems on security. So Outlook is not really a requirement, but you should also exercise caution in using your personal yahoo or hotmail e-mail accounts for business. These free services are popular with spammers, and it does not project a professional image to your clients. The most common option is to use the e-mail address bundled with your web hosting service.
