   Review - BurnAware Free

   2.2.8 Beta (Feb 3, 2009)

   Great application which suits the most home users which need to create data discs and burn ISO or DVD/BD video.

   Review - ImgBurn

   2.4.2.0 (Feb 3, 2009)

   Great application and great alternative to the bloated commercial software. I believe it is appropriate for 99% of home users which usually need to backup data and burn ISO-images or DVD/BD video. Takes five!

   Review - Opera for Windows

   9.50 Build 9841 Beta (Mar 18, 2008)

   Very good browser, but I am a Firefox man :-)
   
   BTW, how do they get that font smoothing on the screen shot? I see that Opera menu does not have smoothed font, and window itself does, which means that it's not just Windows ClearType turned on. I downloaded and installed this beta to check it out, but I've got just usual non-smoothed text.

   Review - Pidgin for Windows

   2.1.0 (Jul 30, 2007)

   Great piece of software. I tried it under FreeBSD 6.2, but I don't use it because of one problem. When I try to "unblock" buddies (include them to visible list) I get error message, which says it cannot be done, due my contact list is overloaded. But I can do it using another IMs with the same accounts.
   
   If it were fixed, I would use Pidgin without hesitation, because it has great "look and feel" which reminds me om Mac OS X's Adium and supports all the protocols I need.

   Review - Gentoo Linux

   2007.0 (May 8, 2007)

   Personally I prefer FreeBSD, but I have been working with Gentoo for a long time.
   
   This is the best Linux system - you can choose what and how to compile, not just use packages with "default" options compiled by distributor. You always have a choice using Gentoo Linux.
   
   I think, previous complain about "serious disto" meant a "quick distro" :-)
   
   Yes, Gentoo takes more time to install, but after that it works like a charm, and you always can have what *you* want, not what has been chosen by someone for you.

6. Comment - My Windows 7 confession (and why you should confess, too)

   2007.0 (Dec 1, 2009 - 7:40 PM)

   Looks like confession is incomplete.

7. Comment - Windows XP's final day still June 30, but low-cost PCs get two more years

   if you think that people are stupid, why don't you extend you point of view and mention that they are stupid because they use Windows at all? Maybe they are stupid because they buy everything they are offered to?
   
   People are not so stupid as you tell. They are voting by their wallets. Why should they buy Vista, which requires more resources and does not have any benefits over XP? That's the reason. "Eye-candy-glass-windows" is not the reason to upgrade hardware and software, acquiring incompatibility problems which still persist.
