  1. Review - Sandboxie

    3.26 (Apr 28, 2008)

    sounds like this program does now what OS/2 warp did 15 years ago. lol yeahhh, advanced technology at its best

  2. Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

    1.0.1 (Feb 25, 2005)

    from what I recall, opera was built on the IE engine, naturally it would load faster than firefox (built on the mozilla engine) since windows auto-loads the IE engine every time it boots. I will stick to firefox :)

    1995 Microsoft Windows 95 was released August 24, 1995

    a major upgrade from windows 3.1 (run cycle 3 years) to catch up with an at the time, far superior offering from IBM called OS/2 Warp

    1998 Microsoft Windows 98 was released June, 1998.

    a middle of the road upgrade for win 95. same basics, just bug fixes and a few new features

    when you post dates please be more precise so as not to misrepresent facts to the unknowing. Up until windows XP, MS marketed 2 brands of windows, the 3.1/95/98/me brand for home use and the 3.11/2000 brand to businesses. when giving the time line as you did, it made it appear that there was never a separation of the two.

    IMO, in todays economy, ppl just don't want or need to be wasting money on unneeded upghrades to perfectly fine systems just to run the latest buggy bloatware from MS. Most common users are happy with a pc that is currently working fine for all their needs. With more and more home foreclosures and more and more ppl out of work, people are cutting back wasteful spending and just struggling to make ends meet.

  7. Comment - Swedish court declares Pirate Bay judge unbiased

    1.0.1 (Jun 25, 2009 - 4:26 PM)

    A statement from the Court today to the Swedish newspaper SvD said: "We believe that [Norström's] membership to these copyright groups does not mean that there is any reason to doubt his impartiality when it comes to judging this case."

    I know, I totally agree, just because a person is a member of a group doesn't mean that they support that groups beliefs. I can't tell you how many ppl in the kkk dont hate blacks; or how many ppl in any christian organization totally despise god :) makes sense to me. totally believable... yaaaaa
