   Review - MySQL Workbench

   5.2.24 RC3 (Jun 21, 2010)

   5.2.24 RC3 is starting to be pretty good. I'm using only the part that replace MySQL Admin for now, but I'd say its pretty stable and the GUI is more easy to work with than MySQL Admin.

   Review - Microsoft Download Manager

   1.1 (May 21, 2010)

   I tried v1.1 on Win7 x64 with both IE8 and FF3.6 and it won't work. FF3 sees the plugin installed but not IE8. Even adding a URL directly from the manager won't work!

   Review - Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows XP

   8.0 Beta 2 (Aug 27, 2008)

   I had no problem with Microsoft Update(Not Windows Update) update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate
   I didn't have to switch to compatibility mode.
   
   I have problems with the "Page, Safety and Tools" menu, nothing appears. I have WindowBlinds installed... probably an issue.
   
   To be able to navigate through betanews I had to switch to compatibility mode.
   
   Would be nice to change the window color à la Windows Live Messenger. Tired of that happy baby blue.

   I'm wondering who's behind this? Bieber management? Looking at the registrant... I think not.

5. Comment - Apple hosting October 10 event: Is the king of the beasts the next version of OS X?

   8.0 Beta 2 (Oct 13, 2010 - 2:16 PM)

   With Apple's last iteration, Snow Leopard, the features were shown off a full year before the operating system was released to the public.
   
   
   The link points to Zune 4.7/WP7 release...

6. Comment - Windows 7: Don't upgrade, says FSF, your civil rights are in jeopardy

   8.0 Beta 2 (Aug 26, 2009 - 3:07 PM)

   I like the part in the flyer where is says : "You deserve to be able to hire your favorite programmer to fix it when it breaks. You deserve free software."
   
   It's just the opposite. With Windows, you pay the software and get support/updates for free (well... for the time the OS gets support.) and with FSF's thinking, you get free software but you need to hire a programmer for updates & support, and I don't know many programmers that works for free...
   
   They are right in some ways, we deserve freedom and privacy but do they have a solution for the casual Joe in that flyer, a way we can buy a computer that "just works" with all that freedom and privacy, one I can play some games when I want, and the ones I want, one that include my primary language, don't see that in the flyer... I'm also not a programmer, so how do I know that this free software is secure, not spying on me? Who do I believe? The same people who are saying that uTorrent is cursed by the RIAA after version 1.6 build 488 or something...? Steve? Linus? I just don't know.
   
   Noboby strong-armed me to adopt 7, I just needed a change from XP, like a new hair cut, or a new pair of boxers that were comfy, but just plain old and full of holes!
   
   Cheers!

7. Comment - Finally, we learn what the Windows ad campaign was about

   8.0 Beta 2 (Sep 19, 2008 - 10:00 PM)

   Probably because everybody likes to consume electronics more and more, didn’t have a VCR for ten years, neither a cd player, console, pc nor a DVD player. I don’t think somebody will have is iPod or iPhone for ten years, it will be replace by a new version, or what will be popular by that time. But congrats to you for you soon to be 10 years without crashing. 10 years... that means I would still by using my Intel Pentium MMX 200 MHz and 64Mb of RAM and a 6go hdd... no thank you!

   Why can’t someone play games on a Windows PC? To have the possibility to play music/videos/games, surfing the net, etc... with one piece of hardware is pretty neat. Cost less than having all those equipments to do it. And they didn’t make the games I play on any console... I don’t get the point where an Apple PC could run better Windows than a Windows PC..., Intel cpu, Nvidia gfx, Seagate hdd, DDR2 module, sounds like a pc to me, so if it’s an Apple branded chassis of an OEM chassis... that’s what makes the difference? Oh, and its Windows btw, does distorting names sounds a little too 12yo to you? Windows and Mac OS have all their pros and cons, you choose which one fits you better and that’s it. No need to bash your neighbour because he opted for cable and you for dsl, you’ll all go to the same place. Cheers!
