   Review - PerfectDisk Professional

   12.5.0.309 (Feb 22, 2012)

   This is THE best defragger on the market. It is the only one that does not work AGAINST the Windows prefetch system. Auto update can be turned off, I do so on all my installs. I have no problem with having to configure software after installing it.

   Review - Waterfox

   10.0.1 (Feb 13, 2012)

   The problems are because this is just a simple port of the 32-bit source with NO tweaking or modifications. The so-called "tweaks" are common to all 64-bit apps - they are nothing special. To get a properly modified AND optimised 64 bit build, there is only 1 contender, Pale Moon.

   Review - Soluto

   1.3.441 Beta (Feb 5, 2012)

   Rubbish - complete 'charah'. Had to use the old fashioned way(s) to fix my booting. This gives Israeli programmers a bad name.

   Review - NirLauncher

   1.11.39 (Jan 4, 2012)

   The best utilities in the 'net without exception from a very talented and responsive chap.

   Review - USBDeview

   1.97 (Dec 28, 2011)

   The NirSoft utils are brilliant without exception and this one is a life saver. It allows one to see every device that is or was connected to a given PC (or OS or multibooters, natch). The only util one needs to sort out USB issues.

6. Comment - Opera Next clears clutter from the browser UI

   1.97 (Jun 23, 2011 - 6:04 AM)

   The problem with the version number changes in Firefox is that it breaks extensions...and it *is* version number changes and not anything else. It is a major brake to upgrading.

7. Comment - Internet Explorer 9 takes back the web -- 2.35M downloads during first 24 hours

   1.97 (Mar 17, 2011 - 8:38 AM)

   Whilst I hae installed IE9 where I can (never know what upgrades MS has snuck in there) I will not be using it as my main browser; due to a single usability issue that drives me NUTS.
   
   In Firefox, I do not have to click on my bookmarks in order to be able to scroll them, in IE I do. In FF the activity follows the mouse cursor.
   
   That is why I mainly use Firefox, the extensions are just the icing on the cake.

8. Comment - Chrome 9 dev build released ahead of Chrome 8 beta

   Used PROPERLY, they can tell one roughly what is going on.

9. Comment - Chrome 9 dev build released ahead of Chrome 8 beta

   It is very illogical indeed. However, the vanilla dev chrome browser does the same. TBH, I cannot see what Google adds to the project.

10. Comment - Firefox 4 delayed: Is it ready for prime time?

    1.97 (Nov 3, 2010 - 8:57 AM)

    Just wish they'd fix v3 first. On every PC I have it installed on (6) it stalls/freezes are various times. Some of the installed don't have any extensions.
