  1. Review - Nokia PC Suite

    7.0.6.3 (Jul 2, 2008)

    It's a shame they don't allow you to download it all at once. Downloading a 34MB and then running it, only to be told you've now got to download another 290MB is pretty annoying.

    It's also a shame that Nokia's webmasters are too lazy to update their site with any reference to the new version.

    Works well with my ancient phone on infra-red, and a much welcomed update from the very, very old version 4.88 that I was previously stuck with.

    If you can put up with the obvious bloat, this is probably worth a look. If not, and you can put up with only basic functionality, look for Gammu.

  3. Review - Free Download Manager

    2.5.758 (Jun 16, 2008)

    I used to love this program, but not any more! Riddled with spyware junk. Avoid!!!

  4. Review - Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3

    SP3 Release Candidate 1 (Dec 12, 2007)

    See this link for details for new functionality: http://download.microsof...0Service%20Pack%203.pdf

    For new slipstreamed installations, the following may be of interest:

    "As in Windows Server 2003 SP2 and Windows Vista, users can now complete operating system installation without providing a product key
    during a full, integrated installation of Windows XP SP3. The operating system will prompt the user for a product key later as part of Genuine
    Advantage. "

  5. Review - F-PROT Antivirus for Windows

    6.0.8.0 (Nov 1, 2007)

    Vista support is still "in beta" but I've been using it on Vista 32-bit for ages now without any problems.

    Good detection rates and small system footprint. Beats McAfee or Norton every day of the week!
