  1. Review - Antechinus C# Editor

    6.2 (Jan 22, 2008)

    I would NOT waste a dime on this program - it is the same basic, non-standard editor that all of C-Point's editing components share.

    There is no .Net 3.x support and intellisense is spotty at best.

    You are much better off with SharpDevelop 3.0 Alpha or VS.Net 2008 Express version - at least it will work with the proper environment.

    I have waited for 16 months for the C# Editor to be updated from C-Point with no changes.

    Save your MONEY!

  2. Review - PowerGREP

    3.4.1 (Jul 30, 2007)

    I own all of the other JG soft products and think they are excellent

    5 for grep usage 1 for price = 3

    This is the only one I don't own - as stated below: it is too expensive to purchase for intermittant (sp?) usage.

    I also think it would be good if a discount were offered based on number of products already owned.

    Another comment regarding AstroGrep below:

    Compare the screenshots and see which one has had no improvement - everyone has to make a living unless you are some whiney rich kid:

  3. Review - iTunes for Windows

    7.3.1 (Jul 12, 2007)

    then stop using it! without apple there would be no ipod or podcasting or anything nearly as good out there since there would be no one forced to step up to the plate and compete...

  4. Review - Microsoft .NET Framework (v3.5)

    June 2007 CTP (Jul 3, 2007)

    this is an awesome bit of development and having used LINQ since May 2006 CTP I can say it has saved me a ton of time.

    BTW:
    Here is BetaNews' supposed policy:
    "Foul language, personal attacks, advertisements and repeated, or off topic reviews will not be tolerated."

    So, for roj below: would your point of view be considered a personal attack? I have been developing for over 20 years and I do live in the real world - if you can't be a developer then why bother with a post.

  5. Comment - Google on the Future of Online Video

    June 2007 CTP (Jan 19, 2007 - 2:49 PM)

    Come on, you have got to be kidding: there is nothing mystifying about it: people want there 15mins/15secs of fame and when people vote on their videos that is recognition like an actor gets when an award is given.

    I would bet whatever meager funds I have that if the rating and comments system were removed that video would start to fall off very quickly
