   Review - VistaBootPRO

   2.1 Beta (Aug 2, 2006)

   Has peoples ability to use the command-line really died and a program like this is actually needed? An average user won't/shouldn't use this program, and the users that would change boot options should be able to use the command line....

   Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

   7.0 Beta 2 Preview Refresh Build 5335.5 (Mar 21, 2006)

   Fixed all but one of the problems I had with the first Beta 2 Preview. Speed is great, and more importanly...for me atleast, the CHM bug has been fixed, and they all work correctly now. The one thing that is still a problem you ask? you guessed it, the tool bar layout just sucks. If I could move the address bar, tabs, etc around, would have been a 5.

   Review - dBpowerAMP Music Converter

   Release 10 RC1 (Oct 7, 2003)

   Ive used this program for years and Ive always though it was the best mp3wav/cda converter out there. the quality of the output is great, and the UI is great. The creator could easily make massive amounts of money if they were to sell it. Even I would be willing to buy it.dbpoweramp will always be a fixture on my computer

4. Comment - Internet Explorer 8 can be turned off in Windows 7

   Release 10 RC1 (Mar 9, 2009 - 2:35 PM)

   You know what I would like to see, no GUI browser period. Windows should include and force the user to use wget to download the browser of their choice.

5. Comment - Windows XP to Windows 7 upgrades: Difficult, but not impossible

   Release 10 RC1 (Feb 25, 2009 - 12:49 AM)

   Vista had a retail release date of Jan 07, RTM was Nov 06, if you don't have proper drivers and software from your vendor by Feb 09, guess what, it means your vendor is lazy, stupid, or just doesn't care. I would go with doesn't care, due to the fact supporting decade old hardware doesn't bring in the money, the lack luster Vista sales and not knowing if the new drivers and software will work on Win7.
   
   Oh and the vendor for your business software just sucks out right assuming you are paying them for support. If you aren't paying, shut it, pay for support or push for an update and deal with the headache that would cause.

   I never got this, a vendor doesn't want to update their software or hardware manufacture doesn't want to make new drivers and all of a sudden it's MS fault, when did MS become responsible for everyone else. It has got to suck to have millions of people wanting every feature imaginable with security out the wazoo and then god forbid that a 10 year old POS hardware stops working as it did when it was brand new.
   
   Usually, the change MS makes that everyone screams about, ends up being something the user wanted in the first place...oh like drivers, everyone hates the BSOD due to some piss poor driver and when they attempt to fix and as a result, all the old winXP drivers that do not follow the new model break, people come out of no where to cry about.
   
   Windows is stuck trying to be everything to everyone using a model that just doesn't work for that sort of thing (closed source).

   No back up you say? So all these big files I've been making with ntbackup are just that, big files....oh where have my back ups gone...*cough*
   
   Before you try and cut my nuts off, I am aware that Win7 may not include NTBackup..., but considering they put out a restore utility for Vista, I'm sure they will either put out one for Win7 or the same one will work for both OSs
   
   Now, on with the attempted castration beta news is becoming famous for.

8. Comment - A tale of two houses, or, 'It looks like you're baking a casserole...'

   Release 10 RC1 (Nov 22, 2008 - 4:36 PM)

   I am aware of what Clippy is, and although I was not clear on this, I am more interested in how it relates to the house. If "Grace" is the same piece of sh*t that Clippy was, I can see why one would compare the two. However, if Grace is better at providing help, recognizing patterns and activities, don't compare it to Clippy, evaluate and explain the system appropriately.
