Some of the packages I remove on the spot from a fresh install; CUPS and Samba (I don't have a printer) Bluetooth support (Bluetooth stuff is too expensive for me to even think about) Screensaver (Screens...

Installing WINE sudo apt-get install wine (or install thru Synaptic) should allow you to run a number of windows applications. Some run very well, some ok, some so-so, and some not at all.
