   Review - McAfee VirusScan for Windows

   2006 (Aug 20, 2005)

   Run's faster than the previous version. I also like the Anti-Spyware, Firewall program that have also been updated. I'd recommend the Suite over just bying the Anti-Virus program by itself. I have found the new version found stuff that was on my computer that Norton's had missed. Norton's totally slows my computer down, but McAfee's does not.

   Review - McAfee AntiSpyware

   2.0 Preview (Jun 2, 2005)

   This is a big improvement over the previous version. I don't mind paying McAfee for a good product. I have been using the free Microsoft Anti-Spyware. What surprised me was when McAfees found 4 things that it had totally missed. What I found with Microsoft too over the years is eventually their free products lack support and continued innovation. We use McAfee's ASAP at work and its one of the best Enterprise type anti-virus program on the market and the virus signatures are updated EVERYDAY!
   
   Seems to me that many in the previous post had already made up their minds this wasn't for them if or no other reason than the fact it wasn't free.
   
   Installation was a snap as was configuring.. It offers the exact same type protections that Microsoft does and like I said found stuff Microsoft didn't. I'll buy it without hesitation.

   Review - Adobe Reader for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/2008

   7.0 (Dec 22, 2004)

   I find that version 7.0 is much, much faster to open for viewing my PDF documents. The previous version was down right slow, so I am glad they fixed this on the new version.
   
   If you haven't done so, I recommend you upgrade to this version ASAP, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Don't forget to uninstall the previous versions. I had to uninstall 6.03 6.02 and finally 6.01. I then rebooted before installing 7.0

4. Comment - Microsoft: No IE7 for Windows 2000

   7.0 (Jun 2, 2005 - 1:07 AM)

   I have NO problem with it. Every OS has its life span, businesses, corporations and individuals have had a very long time to upgrade. If you don't upgrade, you just keep what you've got.
   
   I've tried other browsers, but when you need a browser for real productivity like we use it at work, Opra, Netscape, Fire Cracker or any of the others cause nothing but problems. I realize that this is because the folks that designed our backend and intranet software didn't make it compatible with the other browsers. I think all this stuff about internet security especially as it impacts individuals is TOTALLY over blown.

5. Comment - Satellite Radio Shows Strong Growth

   7.0 (Apr 30, 2005 - 2:47 AM)

   I always laugh at folks that say, I can't see paying for Radio, I just use my IPOD. So, you getting your music for free. You can download 12 new songs a month for your IPOD and for that same money, I get commercial free digital music for almost any genre you can think of. Having the variety and not having to deal with downloads, moving files from PC to IPOD. I don't have to deal with any of that. 5.5 million subscribers between XM and SIRIUS feel its the best entertainment value going. You can't get up to the minute news, sports, entertainment. Anyone that can't see the value in Sat Radio has clearly NEVER had Sat Radio.

6. Comment - SIRIUS Goes Portable with 'ReGo'

   7.0 (Jan 8, 2005 - 2:31 AM)

   Apparently you need to learn how to read. While it will act as a walkman type device, you can listen to SIRIUS live or even record up to 4 hours of SIRIUS to listen to when you can't get a Sat signal.
   
   This is a neat product in my opinion and I am looking forward to getting my hands on one. :)
