   This thing has been out for more than two months and the explorer crash problem with the shell extension feature hasn't been fixed yet! I love this programme but this shouldn't happen.

   Review - RSS Bandit

   1.2.0.114 (Sep 30, 2004)

   Yahoo! This is the RSS reader I've been waiting for! Nice layout, very clear structure, fast... But that's not all: it's also got error logging (+ explanations!) AND a great search tool to search your newsfeeds. You can also set a proxy, automatically purge old feeds and lots more!!
   
   The only drawback is you have to install .net, but hey! I had it somewhere on my computer already :-)

   Review - Maxthon Cloud for Windows

   1.1.039 (Sep 30, 2004)

   The thing is okay but don't expect it to have the speed and elegance of a superior browser like Opera. If you're looking for REAL alternatives to Internet Explorer, then try Opera or a Mozilla browser. They at least get updated every now and then + they are a lot more secure than ol' IE so you'll give spyware and hackers almost zero chance. Your choice.

   Review - VLC (VideoLAN) for Windows (64-bit)

   0.7.1 (Mar 3, 2004)

   The player looks promising, but it still is quite unstable. It crashed on me several times. It has some unique features (streaming people :-) and plays most formats I feed it. It uses its own codecs to decode video files, which is handy when you're the lazy type :-) I prefer ffdshow though. Also the internal codec approach blows up the size of videolan: the installer is 6.1MB. Bsplayer is under 2MB and MPC under 1MB. Anyway, I'll watch out for new releases...

   Review - Trillian

   0.74G (Feb 26, 2004)

   I have to revise my previous post about Trillian. There are better and faster multi protocol instant messengers. I've been using Miranda IM these last months and it blows Trillian away! It's way faster, it's got loads of plugins, it's highly customizable, it uses little memory and it's open source :-) Get it here: http://www.miranda-im.org/

   Are you for real? Ever heard of proprietary formats? Please look it up in the dictionary before replying again ;-)
