  1. Review - Microsoft Windows Live OneCare

    2.5.2900.3 Beta (Jul 1, 2008)

    Fantastic piece of software.

    Doesn't hog resources, runs quietly in the background without interrupting you.

  2. Review - Microsoft Windows Live OneCare

    2.0.2392.4 Beta (Oct 23, 2007)

    Used the 90-day trial and was so impressed I shelled out £35 for it!

    Works like a charm, looks good and doesn't slow my system dow - what more could you ask for??

    As it says on the box - 'The Perfect Companion for Windows Vista'

  3. Review - Microsoft Office Outlook Connector

    3 (Aug 16, 2007)

    This much-needed add-on further positions Outlook as the best premium email client available on the market!

  4. Review - Microsoft Windows Live OneCare

    1.5.1890.34 (Apr 12, 2007)

    Microsoft has recently admitted that OneCare should not have been released, and that it is flawed. It did poorly in Virus Bulletin's and AV-Comparatives' tests.

    Link?

    I remember them saying that they are working to improve its detection rates as the vBulletin test results were very unsatisfactory, but never heard them say it should not of been released.

    I've was using it for a while (thanks to the generous 90 day trial) and its very light on resources and doesn't bother me as much as other AV suites, though am currently testing Norton 360 to see what its like.

  5. Review - Mozilla Thunderbird for Windows

    2.0.0.0 RC1 (Apr 6, 2007)

    Used it for a while, but went back to Outlook 2007 as I prefer it.

    However, as a free alternative to Outlook Express, its probably one of the best.

  6. Comment - Gates sets TED a-buzzing (and a-swatting)

    2.0.0.0 RC1 (Feb 5, 2009 - 8:29 PM)

    Well done Bill.

  7. Comment - Beta release of Office Outlook Connector adds calendar syncing

    2.0.0.0 RC1 (Jul 28, 2008 - 4:44 PM)

    ...and eventually a new version of Windows Live Mail Desktop will be released as part of Windows Live Wave 3. No updates since November!!

  8. Comment - Microsoft drops $50 billion bid to acquire Yahoo

    2.0.0.0 RC1 (May 4, 2008 - 10:36 AM)

    Watch Yahoo!'s share price drop now!

  9. Comment - EC to investigate new charges against Microsoft

    2.0.0.0 RC1 (Jan 14, 2008 - 12:34 PM)

    ...including desktop search and Windows Live have been brought to the Commission's attention

    The search function is changed with SP1 and MS does not include any Live products in Windows, only links to download them!

    When will this ever end!!

  10. Comment - Microsoft still short on details surrounding IE8

    2.0.0.0 RC1 (Dec 9, 2007 - 11:17 AM)

    I use IE7 as my primary browser - its safe and there is something about the feel of IE - it doesn't feel cheap or free!

    If they are sketchy with details, at least we won't be disappointed when they drop features etc that we didn't even know about, because they never told us about them. Anyone remember Vista?
