  1. Review - Pidgin for Windows

    0.60 Alpha (Sep 15, 2002)

    It's about time that this version comes to Windows. I use it on my Linux boxes and have plans to standardize it as well. As soon as the Windows version is stable, I plan to deploy it on all of my Windows boxes as well.

  2. Review - Netscape Navigator for Windows

    7.0 (Aug 29, 2002)

    What's the point of using Netscape when Mozilla 1.0 does what you want? Mozilla atleast has ad blocking, Netscape 7 has that feature stripped.

  3. Review - Mozilla for Windows

    1.0 RC1 (Apr 19, 2002)

    This version appears to be much faster on my little PIII laptop than version .98 or .99. I do like the improvements and look forward to the final release.

  4. Review - LimeWire for Windows

    2.3.0 Beta (Mar 19, 2002)

    For those who asked it looks like the clean limewire site was shutdown down because of some sort of lawsuit from Limewire about distributing a clean version without ad software. The new site does exist but I don't have the link at this time.

  5. Review - DivX for Windows

    5.0 (Mar 6, 2002)

    Not to bad but I'd advise getting adware or something to clean out the spyware junk.

  6. Comment - OpenOffice 1.1 Takes Aim at Microsoft Office

    5.0 (Oct 3, 2003 - 9:02 AM)

    Well OpenOffice 1.1 is better than 1.0 in many ways. In my own business I've started bundling OpenOffice 1.1 with the computers I build (it's popular on Linux based computers too). In addition, I'm phasing out Microsoft Office as soon as I double check my databases that I converted into MySQL.

  7. Comment - Microsoft Secures Antivirus Tech

    5.0 (Jun 12, 2003 - 8:54 AM)

    I know the person who distributes RAV in New York and there's a couple of things that is happening. RAV for Linux and other third party OS's may not be developed anymore. RAV for Windows is probably going to be merged with Windows and so forth. RAV for Linux is one of the best I've seen and I'm sad that Microsoft will crush it for Linux.

  8. Comment - AOL Launches Own MusicNet Service

    5.0 (Feb 27, 2003 - 2:19 PM)

    Napster will be reborn this year but as a paid service and with copy protection. It too will have proprietary software which is being used by it's new owners, ROXIO.

  9. Comment - Office 11 Shuns Windows 9x, Me

    5.0 (Oct 30, 2002 - 8:53 AM)

    I too will have to agree with your statement. Right now I have two systems running Windows XP and Windows 2000 SP2 (which is being updated to SP3). I also have a laptop running NT 4.0 SP6 and finally another machine being constructed to run either Windows 2000 SP3 or XP Professional. The Windows 9X series is very old and still are consumer based. NT is still being used in servers but 2000 for workstations. I do agree that this is the best course of action since 9X were not to be used for businesses and NT is so old. Too many people are still keeping these older systems and not moving up. With hardware so cheap out there, it's best to give it up for these new OS's. On my boxes, they are still running Office 2000 and since I have no 9X machines left, when I update the NT systems to 2000, Office 11 will go with it.

  10. Comment - Winamp3 Makes its Official Debut

    5.0 (Aug 11, 2002 - 12:31 PM)

    I tend to agree. Running this even on both a Pentium III 500 Laptop and a Pentium III 850 Desktop, I find the program to be more sluggish not very user friendly. I'm sticking with version 2 myself until Winamp cleans itself up.
