  1. Review - MenuetOS

    0.84 (Apr 19, 2007)

    It needs USB drivers support so that it could be booted off of a flash memory on motherboards having the boot option.

  2. Review - Magic ISO Maker

    5.3 Build 229 (Mar 22, 2007)

    No true Unicode support. I tried many other burning programs and they just don't support Unicode filenames:CDRWin,UltraISO,Nero. The only one supporting Unicode for real and that works is CopyToDVD. It's a shame that there is still no widespread full and true Unicode filenames support nowadays in burning programs.

  3. Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v3)

    3.0 Alpha 2 (Feb 8, 2007)

    Increasing version numbers doesn't make code any better. Firefox 2.0.0.1 has some serious cache bugs with cached pages appearing on many sites instead of new pages. Instead of adding new barely tested code the current code should become bug-free and robust enough, which is just not yet.

  4. Review - LAMbCast

    1.0 Beta (Dec 9, 2006)

    Not only this program is not freeware at all BUT it's illegal! Yes. Google recently stated that saving any of the videos that's stored on their servers is illegal.

  5. Review - ReactOS

    0.3.0 RC2 (Aug 15, 2006)

    It's just a joke. If you want to waste your time or have plenty of time to waste, then try it. Otherwise, forget about a working Windows-clone, that just won't happen.
    Being able to run some simple applications doesn't make it Windows-compatible at all. And if it would ever be able to run 60%+ of Windows software then Microsoft would sue all of them and the project would disappear.

    Then you are blind if you can't see the huge difference between a DVD and BD H.264 1080p

    What a silly anti-Sony rant and what a nonsense.
    Blu-Ray it's already a worldwide standard and it's the HDTV Optical Media standard in use.

    BD-R 25GB TDK or Sony you can order from Japan at $6 approx including shipping.

    Hard Drives and Flash memories are not more reliable than Blu-Ray optical storage. If you want to use HDUs for storage you need redundancy which means you need a rack with RAID-5 or RAID-6 hardware capability at least, or a rack for RAID and one or two RAID SAS/SATA controllers with RAID-5/RAID-6 hardware support.
    Flash drives can't be taken seriously, they are too expensive and their expected MTBF is actually lower than high-end HDU drives.

    If you really think that mid to small range businesses don't use optical media for archival purposes then you are absolutely wrong.

    Transformers, Iron Man, Indiana Jones... you can't see any difference from the low resolution DVD release to the Blu-Ray 1080p H.264 35Mbps encoded release ?
    You must be kidding, really.

    With prices falling down so quickly it's getting very cheap to use BD-R discs for backup purposes both for businesses and home users.
    20 TDK or Sony BD-R 4x 25GB single layer discs, which means 500GB of storage, already cost even less than an external Seagate or WesternDigital 500GB USB drive (if you buy them from Japanese sellers and shops)
