   Review - OpenOffice.org for Windows

   2.1.0 (Dec 12, 2006)

   For reference, I believe this is the second release candidate NOT the actual final release.
   
   Be careful, it's not officially safe for use in a production environment yet, there may yet be another release candidate

   Review - Arcade Race

   0.02 Beta (Jan 28, 2005)

   cute game, ran on my laptop with a slow graphics card. The collision handling is rubbish though. If you slide sideways into another car you slow down, and any missle / landmine impact causes you to swerve off the road.
   Oh, and it's marked as beta 0.02 on the version I downloaded, not 1.02.

   Review - MSN Messenger for Windows

   7.0.0425 Beta (Dec 2, 2004)

   Found a bug where the add contact to discussion dialog grouped the users into random categories, but other than that looking good.
   
   I think that this release of 425 is a public beta, whereas the previous version of 425 was just a release to check that it was good enough to promote to beta. I guess the old one was an alpha ?

   Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

   1.0 RC1 (Oct 27, 2004)

   Mozilla Firefox, with the Extension architecture, and the (now) reliable gecko engine is poised to become a serious player in the browser market.
   
   Try it now.
   
   If you don't like it after a month, then leave it for three and come back and try it again.
   
   Either way, try it before you knock it. Please?

   1.0 RC1 (Sep 23, 2005 - 7:18 AM)

   Yeah, If 2MB is a space issue on your hard drive then I suggest you go to Dell / ebay / Walmart / whatever and buy yourself a new PC.
   
   Hell, I have one lying around at home that will help. You can have that for free
