   Review - Opera for Windows

   9.23 Build 8805 Beta (Aug 6, 2007)

   This build (weekly btw, no beta) fixes some crashers found by stress-testing the javascript engine using Mozilla's jsfunfuzz tool.

   Review - The KMPlayer

   2.9.3.1214 (Feb 15, 2007)

   There *is* an english site: http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/ (entire site is forum-based)
   
   This belongs in the same category as VLC: it is supposed to play everything. The amount of options can be a help or a source for despair, but you don't have to touch them really.
   
   It's heavy (hevaier tht Crystal Player Pro), but very robust. As said plays everything out of the box, including DVD. Just check it out, it's free.
   
   I use it now as my standard player. :-)

   Review - Opera for Windows

   9.20 Build 8713 Beta (Feb 5, 2007)

   Ok,
   
   I don't want to sound like an Opera fanboy here, though I am one.
   
   Some critical self-evaluation.
   
   1) Newbies: try it.
   
   2) Firefoxes: no, Opera *doesn't have* plugins. Why? To keep control of the code that's used. Why? Because Opera wants to be and *is* secure (check Secunia).
   Why don't we stop those silly wars, which are just pimpled adolescents yanking off (yeah you (and me)). If you want don't like the sounding of the phonological compound 'oh-puh-rah' do not download this. The title bar says 'Opera' so it will drive you nuts every minute you are on the net.
   If you're fair-headed, just try. It's just another program, and it's fair to say it has a good record, security wise. Some people found it difficult to adapt to Opera, for the single reason they were accustomed to Firefox and that other little ditty. That's not a big problem. There's an skin/toolbar/shortcut setup which transvestites Opera into a Firefox look-alike: http://my.opera.com/Rijk...rafox-0-9-the-new-munin. If you're not into that thing, you'll adapt in 10 seconds.
   
   Get into the daylight.

   Review - CrystalPlayer Professional

   1.97 (Feb 5, 2007)

   What sets this player apart from other players?
   
   1) It is *very lightweight* memory-wise
   2) It plays all the most used file formats, codecs
   3) GIU response is instant (yeah yeah, so it misses a millisecond), that means: the menus, ocd, window resizing.
   4) Installs very quickly (using installer)
   5) Has all the most important, useful 'tweaks' (see list above)
   6) Plays DVD
   7) Has 'wife protection'
   
   It's faster than any other client I know of in WinXP. No hearts breaks. Lighter than VLC, mplayer what have you. And all the goodies.
   
   8) It's not free. Ok ok, here's the free, downsized one http://fileforum.betanew...layer_Free/1108313290/2
