   Review - UltraExplorer

   2.0.3.1 (Oct 31, 2009)

   Looks like a good piece of software with good potential. Usable, but still buggy. Has a problem minimizing the window. On minimizing, shows a blank frame outline and a blank desktop with no icons. Also window does not maximize properly when started with a desktop shortcut set to maximize the window on start up.

   Review - Autorun Protector

   1.1 (Jul 11, 2009)

   Excellent means to deter viruses that spread using the autorun.inf file. Offers more features than Panda USB Vaccine. Use this in conjunction with Autorun Eater, and you have an unbeatable combination.

   Review - Revo Uninstaller

   1.80 (Jan 24, 2009)

   On the review posted by 'anomoly' I think the problem lies with too many applications loaded on the machine, and possibly not enough maintenance done on it. Why don't you try cleaning up with a good thorough cleaner like say "Cleanup" and "KCleaner", then defrag your HD with "Defraggler". Then try using the same version of Revo. I never had such a problem with this excellent software, which seems to be able to clean up most of the junk left behind by uninstallers supplied with most softwares.
   I normally use "Revo" followed up by "Eusing Reg Cleaner" and the registry cleaner tool in the last free version of "JV16 Power Tools". This leaves my PC in a absolutely pristine state. Regular maintenance with the cleaners and defragging both the hard disk and the registry is a must.

   Review - AVG Anti-Virus Free

   7.5.516a1225 (Dec 21, 2007)

   I have been using this anti-virus for a couple of years now. My only gripe is that the update files keep getting bigger each time. Is this software downloading all its files each time? Just a few days of not updating means a few MB of downloads. Why can this not be sorted out??
   I am also using Avast on another PC. This anti virus always has short and sweet downloads that finish in a flash. I don't know which is really better. Any inputs anyone????

5. Comment - Microsoft to Drop PDF Support in Office

   7.5.516a1225 (Jun 4, 2006 - 2:32 AM)

   This looks like the most likely scenario. Microsoft has a history of trying to acquire rights to a certain technology that has grown enormously popular (where they don't have a significant presence), and then introducing their own versions that are not consistent with existing standards.
   They would probably in the meantime introduce their own version of a file format like the Microsoft document imaging format that they have introduced in the latest version of MS office and build the reader into their OS.
   Fragmenting an existing technology is the only way they can oust somebody else's technology from the marketplace, if they cannot just buy it out.
