   Review - Windows Media Player for Windows XP (32-bit)

   10.00.00.3646 (Sep 2, 2004)

   Bleh, errors and crashes for no reason other than "I wanted it to play a song". >_<
   More bloat indeed, so many useless 'features'. I know it's supposed to be geared toward a different kind of audience, an audience that wants everything in one place, but if this is what's going to be shipped with future OS's, then they need to work out the bugs (so many bugs and crashes already....dear lord), almost a total rewrite is needed. The only thing I like so far is the new default skin. Microsoft is getting better in the visuals department lately. Cut out the 80 useless features, make it use less memory, make it not crash when I look at it wrong, and I'll use it. It's a good thing it's free.

   Review - nLite

   0.98.6 Beta (Aug 8, 2004)

   One of the best programs I have ever downloaded. It completely trimmed all the crap from my XP install CD, resulting in a faster, unattended installation, and a faster running OS, taking up less HD space, and less memory thanks to it's service remover.
   
   (If Nuhi is reading, don't add an ISO burner to the product, it's slim and fast, and doesn't need bloated 'extras' like that... ((Iso burner...HA!)) )

3. Comment - AIM Beta Gets Rich with Features

   0.98.6 Beta (Aug 13, 2004 - 5:26 AM)

   I've never used AOL before, or it's AIM client. I'm glad I've never started, now that I've learned of it's spyware, bloatware, stupidity. I thought programs were supposed to get better with time? This one seems to be getting fatter and lazier, like the people it thinks it's catering to. "Less clicks!" pffft.... do you think clicks bother me? I'm not lazy enough to complain about the number of clicks to something!
   If I want stock quotes, weather, and all that jazz, I'll get programs that do that, and only that. I don't want them weighing down, complicating, bloating, and incurring a fee on my instant messaging software. I pity the AIM users. It's like being a user of Realplayer, software that nobody loves anymore (for good reason).
