   Review - WinSCP

   4.2.5 (Dec 22, 2009)

   Kindly ignore the bug about F5 refreshing, that can be done in the explorer interface. It defaults to the commander interface. That was my fault. The rest of the issues I listed below are still prevelant.

   Review - RoboForm

   6.9.98 (Dec 14, 2009)

   As a long time supporter of this product, I have to say that I am a bit disappointed as of recent.
   
   Roboform has not fixed the issue with filling authentication dialogs in Windows 7. I reported this a while ago and was merely told to uninstall and reinstall which did not work (and has not worked on various fresh installs).
   
   My other complaint comes in regards to the activation system. I have been doing a lot of testing for systems of very specific purposes with various operating systems and, needless to say, roboform is a must install on any system. Now, I own 3 licenses to cover the systems I am testing on yet I have been prompted twice now that my activation count has been exceeded. This is an easy fix, an email to the support team, but I really do not like the idea of how many times I can activate my product. I own licenses for each system that I leave roboform installed on so this leaves me with a sour taste.
   
   That, and now chrome has extension support yet they have not put out a final release or even a public beta release of a chrome extension. Yes, they have a custom build, but given the frequency with which updates are made to chrome, I prefer to have an extension that can upgrade with me as I upgrade chrome instead of relying on an older version that is custom built for roboform.
   
   That said, it is still the best, in my opinion. The price does get a bit steep but I prefer to have a product which I can use and know I will get support for if need be. Roboform has become a name I trust and as such I will continue with them. I also do not like the competitions requirement for data to be stored online. Online storage should be completely optional, especially in this day and age where data loss occurs quite often from major hosting providers.
   
   3/5 from now on because of the above issues.

   Review - AnyDVD HD

   6.6.0.5 Beta (Dec 3, 2009)

   Continues to be the only tool which handles BRD and can break just about any protection that is covered by the format. This is one of those tools which, while expensive, cannot be matched in features or ease of use by another other product in the realm.

   Agreed with RCS. You are basically saying that you refuse to patch because something else on your machine is causing issues with the patching process. I have rarely encountered a machine in my 20 years in the business that has been affected by a patch run through automatic updates. Yes, there have been a handful, I can count them on one hand, where this has happened but for most, patching is painless and transparent.
   
   By the way, what is your IP address? I would like to....test...it to see what kind of nasties you are hosting :)

   Dont forget httpd.confused. They ended up banning him because users here complained about his reviews which were actually very fair. People who are fans of one product do not like it when someone tells an honest review, which is what he did.

   Surely there could be ONE million apple users right? I mean, 2-3% market share for 20 years surely would accumulate that number ;-)

    Hey, My windows XP machine with 128MB works...I guess you're right, who cares as long as it works regardless of the usability!
