Limewire is a bug in itself and not something you need for sure there. ITunes you can readily dump at any time while Quick Time is usually required for certain online videos and active x type controls. When you go to look at something you find at some site you will see the prompt for downloading QT then if it's not on.
It's kind of the catch 22 where you need Apple's stuff at times since MS lacks in those areas. Flash Players are typically Apple while Java was developed by SUN Microsystems and is also needed often. Without replacing the current drive or simply splitting it into two partitions the option for simply adding in a second drive can work two ways there.
The first is trying Linux out without any effect on the XP host drive. The second is storage and backup of anything you have on the XP host in the even the first drive fails at some point. On a new build and when you are resourced for a new system then you can boost capacity as well as performance there to a much larger degree.
