   Review - GetDataBack for NTFS

   3.68 (Jul 28, 2009)

   Once in the middle of resizing a partition, the power failed. When Windows would not recognize anything on the drive, GetDataBack for NTFS saved the day by recovering ALL the data on the drive. This is excellent software.

   Review - WildBit Viewer

   5.2 Alpha 1.0 (Feb 20, 2008)

   Nice!
   Little!
   
   Can't argue with that.

   Review - Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility

   8.4.0.1016 (Sep 5, 2007)

   Not posted on the Intel site, you wouldn't use it, so you give it a "1".
   
   Whew!
   
   LOOK to see where the file is being downloaded from (Intel), READ the readme.txt file (Production Version):

   The name of this site is BetaNews. Expect to be on the bleeding edge when you are here. If you rely on your computer to make your living, most probably the last thing you need to be doing is testing BETA software on it. Please don't attack or rate a product low simply because you don't have confidence in it, and you have no intention to try it. That is counter to the purpose of this website.

   Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

   1.5.0.7 (Sep 14, 2006)

   Things I don't like about firefox:
   
   1. The endless ability to customize, it's just too confusing.
   
   2. The fox logo. You only see the back of him. How dumb is that?
   
   3. Tabbed browsing, if that were any good, Micro$oft would have stolen it and put it in Internet Explorer.
   
   4. Multiple search engines on the toolbar, if that were any good, (see #3).
   
   5. Constantly being updated. Programs can only be updated so many times, right?
   
   6. Free addons. These sometimes break with (#5) updates. Then I have to wait days (or hours!) for these to be fixed. It's such a hassle to click that dang "find updates" button.
   
   7. The support community, puleese!
   a. They're always trying to figure out new ways to do new things with Firefox. That just can't be good.
   b. They always go, "Rah Rah Firefox! Rah Rah Firefox!"
   c. They're like that Avis ad "We try harder"
   
   In short, why do we need another browser? Micro$oft is always so innovative when they have no competition, if we really needed a new browser, they would give us one.

   Review - WinHex

   12.9 SR-6 (Apr 24, 2006)

   Continuously updated, new features added regularly, the author wants the software to work well and work right. This is an excellent utility.
