  1. Review - digsby

    Build 37 (r18971) Alpha (Nov 15, 2008)

    There sure are places where Digsby can be improved but I rate it as a "five" since I managed to move from a heavily bloated Miranda-install with tons of addons. Digsby doesn't have all features but I love it for its simplicity and multi-IM support.

    The ability to group (and then handle) a contacts' ICQ, MSN, gmail etc. into one single contact is awesome. If you want a IM-solution that is easy to handle, check out Digsby.

  2. Review - HWiNFO32

    2.35 (Nov 15, 2008)

    THE tool to use after reinstalling machines to identify any unknown devices such as WLAN-cards etc in laptops. Very simple to put on a USB-stick.

  3. Review - Safari for Windows

    3.2 (Nov 15, 2008)

    Just another piece of software to keep updated to protect against exploits, something Apple isn't very good at.

    Firefox and IE does all I want, don't need another browser with a foul GUI.

  4. Review - Total Commander

    7.0 Beta 4 (Mar 11, 2007)

    Wish I could rate this app at 5.1!!

    Except doing all possible (and even unpossible!) file management with a breeze it is also Vista-aware. While notepad will not let you save a file in program files even as admin, TC is fully compatible with UAC on.

    Amazing that the license seems to run for life regardless of upgrades. Never have I paid so little for so much :)

    (no, this is not the author writing) :-)

    It has a ugly GUI, yes, but it is the best file manager I ever seen on all platforms/OS:es I have used over the years.

  5. Review - Unlocker

    1.8.5 (Jan 12, 2007)

    To quote Mr Burns: Excellent!

    A Vista-compatible version is high on my wishlist. Running as user (member of debugger users) with UAC=on it is impossible to operate UnLocker via GUI, even if you run it as admin.

    It works via a cmd run as administrator but it would be nice to use the shellext menu.
