  1. Review - FastStone Capture

    5.5 (May 23, 2007)

    It used to be a great utility, but the stealth method used to "introduce" the shareware version version without any anouncement is simply disgusting! I turn back to IrfanView instead or I'll buy SnagIt which is anyway much better.

  2. Review - Lipikar

    3.0.0 RC2 (May 19, 2007)

    Great utility! Very helpful when you have to write a couple of old Greek lines in an English text or a sentence in Sütterlin in a German essay. Quite Easy to use as well, except for languages written from right to left (Hebrew, Arabic,...): the only way I found was to right-align the text and write the sentences backwards! A rather tedious way, or is there another possibility I overlooked?

  3. Review - Transfz

    1.05 Beta (Apr 2, 2007)

    My anti-virus programme (Avast) prevents the installation of Transfz because of the presence in it of the worm Sohanad-I! Is this a deliberate intrusion attempt from Transfz' s author or has his file been hacked?

  4. Review - OpenOffice.org for Windows

    2.0.169 (May 13, 2006)

    I just can't understand the amazing stupidity of people like "Floske Tuf": this is a Beta review page and we are asked to give our opinion (after having tried them, of course :-) on software in Beta stadium, not on irrelevant semantic questions on whether Micro$oft should be shortened as "MS" or "M$"!
    I have been using OpenOffice - always trying the last available Beta - for the last two years for my work as a writer (I use the French and German versions of OpenOffice), after many years of working with Word, with the conclusion that OOffice is by far superior to its M($)S competitor in terms of flexibility and stability. The only thing I still miss in OOffice is the possibilty to vertically justify a text when "orphan" and "widow" paragraph options are set (better said: I haven't found how to do that yet). When this option is available, I think OOffice will just be perfect (for me).
