  1. Review - Google Chrome for Windows

    0.2.149.27 Beta (Sep 2, 2008)

    Crashed 3 times in an hour on my laptop running Vista Ultimate. Can't scroll up using the touchpad, only down. Very little settings or adjustments.

    Pretty awful experience.

  2. Review - IrfanView

    3.99 (Nov 17, 2006)

    Still the leader, and still free.

    Best image viewer Ever

  3. Review - Winamp 5 Full

    5.31 (Oct 25, 2006)

    I'm very annoyed with this version, I have 46 gigs of pure albums, and I regularly load the entire directory of them into winamp, randomize the play list, then play them randomly, it's a nice mix and was never trouble doing so, until now. Winamp crashes now every single time I try to load my entire mp3 collection.. Way to go...

  4. Review - Sound Blaster Audigy Driver for Windows 2000/XP

    02.09.0016 (Oct 10, 2006)

    What is this 1995? Holy crap, it makes you, uninstall, reboot, just to install these?

    why is it I can do a fresh install of XP, install the audigy drivers and they work on the fly, but to update them its like pulling teeth. I've seen so many installers now that uninstall the old driver set and install the new on the fly all in one shot.

    I'm not even bothering with these now..

  5. Review - Microsoft Windows Vista (32-bit)

    RC2 Build 5744 (Oct 8, 2006)

    Obviously no one here ran pre release software before.

    I remember running pre released version of win2k and XP, and Vista is 10x more stable at RC2 then XP or 2k was during their RC phase. As vista does, XP and 2k RC's had only beta drivers from the distribtors. Quit your yappin and wait for final

  6. Comment - MP3 Goes 5.1 Channel

    RC2 Build 5744 (Dec 4, 2004 - 3:04 PM)

    Mp3 Surround sounds terrible..

    Normal Stereo mp3s played through my Audigy 2 ZS out to my creative 7.1 speakers sounds better, MUCH better.
