  1. Review - DVD neXt COPY Standard

    2.7.3.2 (May 4, 2007)

    Software does make good copy. It's best feature is probably that it make a good ISO copy.

    OTOH if you use a high resolution like 1280x1024 and want to use 120 dpi instead of the standard 96 dpi, the GUI is all screw up.

    The other problem concern the working and temporary directory, if they are not created the program instead of offering you to create them just abort and quit.

    These 2 problems have existed since version 1, I've reported them to their support on many occasion, they've acknowledged the problems, butd they still haven't fix them.

  2. Comment - Our love/hate relationship with Microsoft: What happens now?

    2.7.3.2 (Oct 23, 2009 - 11:01 AM)

    The reason we hate Microsoft is very simple: MS has always tried to dictate what we should and should not do with our PC instead of giving us tools and let us make our choice. They want to control the flow of information and how we get it.

    That's why.

  3. Comment - Windows XP forever? The OS that just won't die

    These numbers reflect pretty much what I see in the repair shop.

  4. Comment - Windows XP forever? The OS that just won't die

    Performance dizzy_davidh. Windows 7 run a lot faster than Vista. Good reason enough to upgrade. Vista is such a hog.

  5. Comment - Windows XP forever? The OS that just won't die

    2.7.3.2 (Aug 7, 2009 - 1:48 PM)

    XP will die eventually by attrition, but this is still way down the road. I doubt you will see a large decline before the end of support in 2014.

    I'm a computer builder. I still have a large stock of XP licenses, and I sell a dozen or so every week. BTW I sold one Vista PC since it came out, 2 and half years ago. Sold around 600 new PCs with XP in the same period.

  6. Comment - Patent office rejects TiVo's claims against EchoStar's software workaround

    Has everything to do on how you write your software.
