   Review - Wipe

   2.44 (Oct 21, 2009)

   Works really good for me. It doesn't seem adversely affect anything yet cleans fast and thoroughly. Perhaps they have fixed some issues with it in this latest release.

   Review - Registry Life

   1.0 Beta 2 (Sep 16, 2009)

   The Beta 2 version fixed the problem and the program works great now.
   
   I had the same problem with Registry Life Beta 1, but if you try this new version I think you'll agree it is a very good registry tool.

   Review - Ad Muncher

   4.73.31233 Beta (Sep 7, 2009)

   Ad Muncher makes Ad Block look like milk toast.
   
   Pay the $25 for Ad Muncher and instantly start living a better life. It works straight out of the box without configuration.
   
   Updates are daily. Support is responsive if you report an ad it didn't block.

   Review - AlfaClock Free

   1.99 (Aug 20, 2009)

   This used to be a handy little free retro program. Now the latest version is v2.44 and they want $40 for it!
   
   I downloaded from their site and it's not free anymore. No fault of Betanews.

6. Comment - Performance drain: The first public perception test of the Windows 7 era

   1.99 (Nov 6, 2009 - 10:51 AM)

   My perceived performance after installing the upgrade over Vista was delightfully enhanced. The installation was smooth. All my programs worked. The system seems a lot more stable.
   
   I did miss the quick launch toolbar and you can make one following the instructions here:
