  1. Review - AutoPatcher XP

    August 2007 (Dec 25, 2007)

    I am also going to miss this program very much. This was one of the best tools out there and it was free! You would think that Microsoft would not complain about this program since it meant a lot less vunerable computers out their due to using their operating system. Sure some of the users are using bootleg copies...so what! I mean honestly, does Microsoft think that getting rid of "Autopatcher" is going to make a single one of those users go out and buy a legitimate copy of Windows? I can understand them not wanting those users being able to use Windows Media Player, but I doubt it matters much since it is so easy to find plenty of other free media players out there...some even better than WMP.
    I find it very hard to try keeping up with all the patches I need to get, much less what I have already installed. That was one of the main reasons I used and recommended "Autopatcher"...it made the process almost fool-proof. Trying to keep everything patched by going through Microsoft's site is intimitading, especially for newer users, and easy to get overwhelmed so most just give up and don't bother. So Microsoft, I believe, has wasted an excellent resource to help all of the users of it's "buggy" Operating Systems to at least stay partially secure. It seems they are basically punishing all of their "legitimate" users and putting their personal data & information at risk just because of the "non-legitimate" users. With all of the Identity Theft and similar crimes on the uprise, why won't Microsoft let the "Autopatcher" developers continue to help their users?
    Sincerely,
    Chris

  2. Review - 8start Launcher

    1.4.1 (Oct 3, 2007)

    Excellent App, easy on system resources (averaging around 12 Mb's on mine), Saves time & it's FREE! Only thing is it needs a better help file.
