  1. Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

    7.0.5700.6 RC1 (Aug 25, 2006)

    This release is leaps and bounds better than previous beta releases. I am now comfortable with leaving it on my machine as my primary browser.

  2. Review - Ad Muncher

    4.7.26039 Beta (Aug 21, 2006)

    You owe it to yourself to at least try this software. It's the best!

  3. Review - Windows Live Messenger

    8.0.0689 Beta (May 3, 2006)

    Outstanding IM program! I would give it a 5 if they added tabbed conversation windows and the ability to communicate with other networks. Yahoo and Microsoft supposidly came to an agreement to do that a few months ago.

  4. Review - AnyDVD HD

    5.8.4.1 (Feb 4, 2006)

    You get what you pay for, and this program is worth every dime!

    In addition to the obvious uses for this program, it also allows me to play DVDs on my Media Center PC to output to my television. Without AnyDVD running, some movies block you from being able to play back movies on anything other than a PC monitor.

  5. Review - Microsoft Max

    1.0 Build 51114 Beta (Dec 2, 2005)

    The problem with this thing (it's not a product according to the description) is that I don't know from the description what it is. Why would I want something that is a picture program now, but it might not be that in the future? They have done a poor job appropriately describing the product (sorry... thing). I did download whatever it is now (pictures) and was not all that impressed.

    I didn't even think of checking my router logs for bandwidth usage. I'll have to do that when I get home. Thanks!

  7. Comment - Bypassing Blu-ray, Sony to stream first-run movies to Bravia TV

    No worries. :) I'm interested to see where the whole video on demand market takes us.

    I like Amazon's VOD service, but they don't have shows in HD. But they do allow you to re-download purchases, so you don't have to worry about storage.

    I can read just fine, but thanks for taking the jab anyways. The fact is, I still wouldn't pay $10 for a movie rental if that's the price they're sticking with for future movies (which I realize they haven't stated yet).

    $9.99 for a movie rental?
    On top of having to purchase a $299 device for the privilege to do so?
    No thanks!

    1.0 Build 51114 Beta (Sep 15, 2008 - 1:37 PM)

    I don't have the game, but it sounds like they give you a blanket 3 installs without the option to de-authorize one computer in order to install it on another. If that's the case, that's insane!
