12.00.1413 Beta (May 16, 2012)
This beta has its problems with the Windows 8 preview as does Maxthon 2. The regular version of Opera works fine as does Chrome.
Thought I would throw that in for those who have wondered.
5.9.0.114 (Apr 12, 2012)
Ah! I see what you mean. I use Skype for all my long distance and have used it from the beginning. But.....I will not start having to delete the program every time before update. We should be way past that.
4.5 (Nov 29, 2011)
I have used this for a long time but since I use Chrome and Opera almost exclusively I don't think it is helping much. Maybe for the rare times I need to open a site in IE (and then I use Maxthon).
2.0.6 Beta 4 (Oct 13, 2011)
This is coming off my machine as soon as I finish this. I've seen so much software ruined after too many hands have been into it. Why take something so simple and clean I can put it on customer's machines and they won't screw it up and turn it into something so cumbersome? If this is the future of Spybot I will never use or recommend it again.
2.0.6 Beta 4 (Jul 22, 2011 - 7:40 AM)
This was something I really enjoyed and shared. Hopefully there will be something comparable brought out.

The instant on feature is something Windows could do but has had no interest in doing. Perhaps features available in the marketplace might push them a little bit. A fast startup (which might resemble a configureable Express Gate) with a command to later start the other features you prefer to run would be perfect. I know about delayed starts etc. but this would be different and easy to use.
2.0.6 Beta 4 (Jun 10, 2011 - 10:46 AM)
I suppose there will be a "cult of Chromebooks" like there is a "cult of Apple". There is no reason for the high prices and many more people will try them when they are more reasonably priced.
Still, the geek in me wants a friend to buy one so I could play with it!
2.0.6 Beta 4 (Dec 20, 2010 - 8:46 AM)
I am in my sixties and have been a computer geek since 1987 when my drafting table was moved out of my office and a computer moved in. I instantly loved what I could do and no more clogged pens, erasures, etc. I have never looked back and only look forward to what happens next.
What will happen with the Chrome OS and it's copiers (of course there will be!) will be a marketing coup. With a very low priced notebook/netbook affordable to the first time user it will be common for storage to take place in the cloud. It works that way.....market to the new generations of computer users and don't worry about what will be accepted by people that have been so used to reaching for the next size hard drive that they can't change their ways.
I also admire Google for their tenacity, always trying something new. I would have given anything to be in on the OS beta test but the next best thing is being able through reports and comments to see how quickly Google responds. After seeing how fast their browser went from an anemic start to a very fast piece of software my money is on them responding quickly.
2.0.6 Beta 4 (Jun 14, 2008 - 5:00 PM)
We are living in a country where the government spent a lot of our tax money on studies of how to tax sunlight for solar several years back. With the government and big business working together they won't rest until they have regulated and stifled the net to death.
