   Review - Trillian Astra

   4.0.0.111 Beta (Jun 22, 2009)

   Astra supports Google Talk out of the box. As well as any other Jabber based IM service. It doesn't support any of the video/audio extensions on Google Talk though.

   Review - Google Chrome for Windows

   2.0.176.0 Beta (Apr 25, 2009)

   @coover: the beta and nightly builds have a command line option for a bookmark(s) button. Its "--bookmark-menu". Its simplly not enabled by default because its not a stable feature yet.

   Review - K-MeleonCCF ME

   0.091 (Feb 4, 2009)

   Much better out of the box than default K-Meleon for sure. Just wish it could import ablock+ rules straight from a Firefox profile.
   
   The side-by-side errors can be eliminated by deleting the manifest file in the extracted directory. Not sure why the developer was silly enough to leave it in.

   Review - Process Explorer

   11.32 (Jan 13, 2009)

   The errors about replacing the task manager and more than one instance can be fixed by taking ownership of the folder that process explorer lives in, at least it did for me.
   
   Works great in Vista and Windows 7 as stated previously.

   Review - Gizmo for Windows

   4.0.3.383 (Jul 29, 2008)

   Looked like a great alternative right up until the moment I started up version 4 and it logged into all my IM accounts it had saved from version 2. It then proceeded to message every single one of them with a message proclaiming that I was using Gizmo and they should give it a try.
   
   It had much promise but for the blatant lack of choice it just has to go.

6. Comment - MS Explains WinFS, Releases Beta 1

   4.0.3.383 (Aug 29, 2005 - 6:43 PM)

   Apple in no way shape or form proved this concept first. Operating systems like BeOS did it years before Apple even had a proof of concept for it.
