  1. Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

    6.0 Public Preview (Mar 27, 2001)

    I would never run software off this betanews site. These guys can't even tell you where they get their stories. Who know what warez site they lifted this from. I ain't touchin it. I dare you to!

  2. Review - System Restore Remover Pro

    1.0 Beta Build 0048 (Mar 8, 2001)

    Why would you want ot make your OS unsupportable? This is a really stupid product. If you wanted Win98 why don't you buy it?

  3. Review - AOL Instant Messenger for Windows

    4.3.2229 (Dec 28, 2000)

    Interesting that they elected to add some bugs to the Install Manager. Why is it a 'can'? Is that some kind of take on the MS 'cab'? Does this work on 'cab' files? Personally, I use 'zip' files and I don't need a can opener for them.

  4. Review - PicturesToExe Deluxe

    3.00 Beta 5 (Aug 22, 2000)

    I don't accept 'candy from strangers' but if this exe came from a trusted source I would run it. But you limit the picture's utility when you package it like this. If the recipient wants to use part of the picture in a collage, or whatever, they cannot because it is not a jpeg image. It is an exe with a propietary format that art programs don't understand. It would be best if you wrote a viewer with a batch mode. Then the pictures are intact.

  5. Review - AOL Instant Messenger for Windows

    4.1.2074 Beta (Aug 10, 2000)

    Great if you like being flooded with advertising every minute and you have no desire to talk to anyone on Tribal Voice, Yahoo, MSN, or any one else in the world that doesn't kow-tow to Steve Case's 'Vision of the Web' where he owns everyone.

  6. Comment - Microsoft Changes Tune on Liberty Alliance

    4.1.2074 Beta (Dec 10, 2001 - 3:18 PM)

    Sun has refused to go through any standards body or process. Java will remain a proprietary language solely owned and controlled by SUN

  7. Comment - Microsoft, DOJ Reach Agreement

    4.1.2074 Beta (Nov 2, 2001 - 11:50 AM)

    You must use AOL's browser to access the AOL sites. You cannot even get in with anyone else's browser. If anyone is trying to 'take over the internet' it is AOL. If MSN, as an ISP, decides to restrict access to the MSN website to paying customers (like AOL does) that is certainly their choice. It does not mean they are trying to take over the internet... just restrict access to their own properties JUST LIKE AOL!

  8. Comment - Microsoft, DOJ Reach Agreement

    4.1.2074 Beta (Nov 2, 2001 - 11:45 AM)

    You have to sign an NDA saying you won't tell anyone you had a problem or what the failure was. That is how Sun does business. They deny problems and before they will even admit anything you have to sign an NDA. Last year when the main CPU cache in the high end Sun boxes start to fail EVERYWHERE, Sun blamed it on cosmic rays and refused to fix anything without an NDA. Further they refused to warn customers about the risk hoping they just would not notice all the corruption.

    Oh yeah, Sun is really great

  9. Comment - Microsoft, DOJ Reach Agreement

    4.1.2074 Beta (Nov 2, 2001 - 11:39 AM)

    SuSE, Corel, Debian, and many other flavors of Linux do install all that even when installing as server. Duh!

  10. Comment - PKWARE Brings PKZIP to X Windows

    4.1.2074 Beta (Nov 1, 2001 - 5:11 PM)

    So who is selling his stuff?
