  1. Review - VirtualBox

    2.0.2 (Sep 13, 2008)

    Will not install on Vista64 for me. It gets to the point were it is copying news files and then starts the rollback process. The only thing it says is "Setup Wizard ended prematurely". It has been like this for previous versions also.

  2. Review - EVEREST Ultimate Edition

    4.20.1238 Beta (Jan 3, 2008)

    There is still a free version, it is just called SIW :) You can do a search for it in Betanews/Fileforum.

  3. Review - AOL Instant Messenger for Windows

    6.5.5.2 (Oct 26, 2007)

    I can only give it a one. They need to make their client inter-op with other IM clients. MSN and Yahoo users can now chat with each other. I can install MSN Messenger (or Yahoo Messenger) and add buddies from MSN or Yahoo to my list and chat with them.

    It is a pain to have to install several different clients in order to chat (IM) with your friends. I prefer to use Pidgin until the other clients get their acts together and make them inter-op with each other.

  6. Comment - Sony says $200 Blu-ray players are still a year away

    6.6.0.16 (Mar 6, 2008 - 1:08 PM)

    They have no competition, so they have not incentive to reduce price. They can now gouge customers a little longer.

  7. Comment - How HD DVD Got its Groove Back

    6.6.0.16 (Nov 7, 2007 - 11:59 AM)

    "Wii in the cupboard gathering dust..."

    The Wii is outselling the PS3 by a large margin. Game companies are dropping PS3 support and more are supporting the Wii. I remember before the Wii came out hardly and game companies were releasing titles for the Gamecube because they were not selling consoles. Now the roles are reversed Sony in not selling consoles and Nintendo is taken over the console market...

  8. Comment - Netflix to Offer HD DVD and Blu-ray

    6.6.0.16 (Jan 24, 2006 - 7:54 PM)

    Netflix has a two day turn around for me. I drop the movie in the mail they receive the movie the next day and then ship my next movie which I receive the following day. I drop a movie in the mail on Monday and have new movie on Wednesday.

    With Blockbuster, I could drop a movie in the mail on Monday and I would be lucky to get a new movie buy Saturday. They would usually not receive it until Wednesday.

    Netflix has a much better selection of videos than Blockbuster also. I would never go back to Blockbuster. I am looking forward to HD-DVD movies from Netflix.

  9. Comment - OpenOffice.org 2.0 Nears Final Release

    6.6.0.16 (Sep 30, 2005 - 10:23 AM)

    Where I work at they can make the switch because we use Lotus Notes and not Outlook. A company could use Open Office and by Outlook seperately. It would be cheaper to buy just Outlook than buying the whole MS Office suite.

  10. Comment - Students Use Linux in Indiana Schools

    6.6.0.16 (Aug 5, 2005 - 2:34 PM)

    Hopefully this will win some more users to Linux once they see that Linux is not that bad.
