   Review - Mozilla Firefox for Windows (v2)

   2.0.0.4 (May 30, 2007)

   Yes it does work with Vista. I have been running Firefox on Vista since beta 2 and never had problem with it.
   
   In my experience it is not the core browser itself that is usually the problem it is the extensions that people load into Firefox that cause the problems.

   Review - Microsoft System Center Essentials

   2007 (May 3, 2007)

   Basing your review on the size on the download isn't exactly what I call a thorough review of the product nor is it particularly useful. So I'll give it a four as well to balance up these zealots.
   
   While I haven't tested this particular product yet. I have found similar products like Small Business Server very useful for their target market.
   
   Problem also is product releases at MS are controlled by the marketing people who don't actually have a clue about the product they are selling so that is why you see terms like "proactive and unified" So at least I'll give that to the Linux and open source gang at least the programmer who wrote the program releases it and therefore probably knows what the damm thing does.

3. Comment - Aussie Parliament Wants To Tighten Net Censorship

   "BTW, is pornography illegal in Australia?"
   
   Well here is the great irony. It is illegal to purchase X rated material in all states of Australia except for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The very same territory where the Federal government sits to enact these types of laws. Nothing like having two sets of standards really. Maybe they are just trying to protect their market share. *chuckle*

4. Comment - Apple Patches QuickTime Yet Again

   2007 (May 1, 2007 - 8:36 PM)

   "I must have missed something....when did betanews become so anti-apple?"
   
   Sorry I don't see this as being anti-apple, to me it looks like a simple story reporting the facts.
   
   I think we are being a little too precious about our apples here.
   
   The bug relates to a piece of software which can be found on a PC or MAC, given that it is a extremely common piece of software it is a valid story because this flaw could have impact on millions of computers.
   
   This was the first I heard about so thank you for bringing it to my attention betanews.

   Well it does track record actually, So far to date in firefox's relativley short life there has already been two exploits found. Of course that wont stop me using it just yet. I love it. But it could be a worry if/when hackers turn the sights to firefox
