   Review - FileZilla v3 for Windows

   3.1.4.1 (Oct 16, 2008)

   Great free FTP client. Better than many so-called "professional" $$$ ones.

   Review - doPDF

   6.1.276 (Oct 9, 2008)

   What's changed in doPDF 6.1.276:
   
   Fix: Corrected bug in converting Norwegian text containing numbers (for Norwegian numbers the thousand divider is a blank space, so the numbers were not correctly converted - bug in dlgPaper).
   Fix: On Vista machines that have UAC enabled, printing from IE7 (in protected mode) returned a "Permission denied" error when trying to save the PDF file locally. Upon installation doPDF now sets permission to write to local files.
   Update: Do not check open file when using doPDF on Vista and printing from IE

   I have been using it for a while. I usually use it to create PDF invoice from online shopping. There are times when I created invoices from newegg or frys, some funny magenta color appears.

   Review - PowerDVD

   8.0 (Apr 3, 2008)

   True that it's a bit slow to startup, but it's probably the only player that truely support hardware HD decoding for many people out there with video cards that support AVIVO and PureVideo HD. 1-5% CPU usage playing 1080 H.264 files! Hope that it will be bundled with more video card for free, and full-featured.

   Review - Xfire

   I have tested it with 2 of my other friends last night. We tried so many times adding others and it either had like a 10 minutes delay adding a friend (who has an account and in the network already), or it didn't want to add it at all. Then it keeps disconnecting when we were in the game. Of course we didn't know we got disconnected until we noticed the other is not answering. Not stable..
   
   EDIT: Just found out that we have to start the invite and voice chat before starting the game. This made it quite inconvenient actually. It works fine after that, although it does slow down the game we're playing (CPU intensive?)

   Way to go Mozilla. You are putting out new versions as frequent as Microsoft releases security updates now. LOL
