   Review - jEdit for Windows

   4.3pre12 (Mar 13, 2008)

   Really is pretty good, but I miss tabs. Very much so.
   
   (Yes, I know, plugins. Nonetheless.)

   Review - Turbo Pad

   0.3 (Mar 6, 2008)

   Pretty good, small, light, open source, and it's a big plus that it can be run on Linux, but there seem to be some issues with that, and since it's not really comparable in terms of quality with Notepad++ and PsPad, 4 instead of 5.

   Review - Pidgin for Windows

   2.3.1 (Feb 27, 2008)

   Rather amusing the the person below has been using gmail since 1995, some nine years before it was offered to the public by Google. We greet you, oh time-traveller! Please don't become your own grandmother.
   
   As for Pidgin (a name which fits a IM client perfectly, even if it does remind one of a certain irksome bird), yes, it does store passwords in plain text, and yes, that is not really an issue. If your computer is infected with spyware/trojans, then you have bigger problems than unencrypted passwords. It would be interesting to look into how it's main competitors (Miranda and Trillian) store passwords, and see if that encryption (if present) could brush off that evil "Russian hacker".

   Review - Paint.NET

   3.22 (Feb 26, 2008)

   Wonderful stuff, if a bit limited in scope, but I've had major issues with installing the new version, and nothing on their forums helped much, and it was finally solved by installing an older version and then a newer over it. I suspect it's phanthom of the .NET opera of really bad ideas from our beloved software tyrant, erm I mean giant, sorry.

   Review - SUMo

   1.6.2.39 Beta (Feb 26, 2008)

   Works perfectly for me, and I find it quite useful, the only thing that is missing is a better updating system, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars.
