I was just curious about the purpose of the software that they intend to install on my computer.  I'm getting FIOS internet and TV, but I won't be using the Verizon DVR, but using TIVO HD.

Thanks,

You really don't need any of the software installed on the computer.  However, one of the first things that happen is creating a user name.  This email address is useful for accessing your Fios account for billing and features.  So don't loose it.

During the installation there are some system updates that could be beneficial, one such update is for  windows Xp users.  It has a Fios optimizer that will improve your online performance.  If you have outlook express it will program all your email information to it so you won't have to.
