   Review - jv16 PowerTools

   2012 Beta 2 (Dec 15, 2011)

   The saddest thing about this scamware that the long list of bugs are practically the same for many years long for each newer versions. Every new version suffers the same, they never seem to be able to finally fix them.
   
   So much about their expertise.
   
   Very disappointing and off-putting indeed. It's time for Macecraft to consider a refund and compensation for the destroyed Windows for many of their cheated customers. I was a fool I believed them.

   Review - VLC (VideoLAN) for Windows

   1.1.11 (Jul 22, 2011)

   @Hilbert
   
   Exactly, as you wrote:
   “…. those who rate VLC with 5 stars must have very simple requirements (or they're on the dev team).”
   
   Sadly, it is a widespread problem on review boards, especially developers are penchant for posting their own high rating reviews, we can call them stealth advertisements.
   
   Therefore, your, as well as other posters' detailed reviews (not just for VLC) are highly appreciated. Facts against influential, baseless promotions.
   
   Thanks for your time and help.
   -------
   As for the present v1.1.11 many of the same old bugs are yet, still there. For me the most annoying is the incorrect icon display after changing set up association. Default set up association still only can safely be changed during installation and does not work after installation from the "tools-preferences" window. And so many other bugs; XP Home SP3

   Review - Mozilla Firefox (v5) for Windows

   5.0 (Jun 24, 2011)

   They disappoint me.
   V4 was just released and already disposed, gets no more updates or fixes.
   Here comes V5 just immediately after V4 by forcing users to install newer and newer versions. V6 and V7 is just going to be released soon, and of course V5 will be abandoned by Mozilla in no time.
   What the hack do they take users for?
   
   Mozilla states it requires more than 512MB of RAM but in reality consumes a full 1 GB of RAM. And not only simply buggy i.e. works with incident but capable to mess up the whole computer.
   
   Now, that does it. I uninstalled it again.
   My suggestion, wait until Mozilla comes to their senses and starts playing fair.

   Review - VLC (VideoLAN) for Windows

   1.1.10 (Jun 10, 2011)

   Sorry, I don't have the time for long details but VLC doesn't play all formats. Moreover, playing from external drive you might run into many unplesant problems, such as VLC tends to cache the whole video on C drive in huge MB files, thus consuming tremendous free space.
   
   For more detailed information, please visit many of the VLC forums.
   
   All in all, VLC is in deep beta phase and Videolan is unscrupulously using and fooling their clients by delivering newer and newer version releases with the same bugs and other problems left unfixed.
   
   Quality might deserve two stars, yet I gave one star rating for their notorious cheating on users.

   Review - Mozilla Firefox (v4) for Windows

   4.0.1 (May 17, 2011)

   It seems the new Mozilla development project is the typical example of the "trust in the mechanism" .
   Careerists, aggressive, unscrupulous, overly self confident managers make business plans and they plow through users, critics and even their own developers.
   
   The old saying haunts: " to make something good, first everything must be battered down."
   They grew ignorant and arrogant, flexing muscles until the word Firefox drops out the dictionaries. It won't happen in a day but surely will, I think.
   Very good, go on Mozilla and we will see. You are full of it.
   I regret I ever used your browser.
