   2.0 Beta 2 (Mar 6, 2007)

   The concept is good, for the home user with a little website.
   The process for adding more than one log file is a bit cumbersome.
   Ultimately, even after adding one log file (I tried both a gzipped and raw log file), it would crash.
   
   I know it is beta, but it should be able to at least read a log file without crashing.

   Review - burst!

   RC2 (Jun 21, 2003)

   Have we really not moved past DOS windows? You're telling me you couldn't window(ize) the transfer windows. Yes, I know it is more geeky to have a black window of data, but come on.. Shake the cool look.

   and Agon, you just did the same thing.. just with a neg. vote!
   
   I am giving this program a 5 based upon the fact that it is a high quality, low memory application that lets you pick with interface you want to use. The SDK is very nice and based upon the growth of the application it is surely a nice replacement of Winamp (2 or 3), WMP or what ever other program there is out there.
   If comes down to one thing. If you are happy with what you are using now, great keep on using it, if you think that this program could be better, give it a shot.
   Voting for a program without even downloading it, or using it for more than a day (or for that matter even looking at it possible options - in the preference menu) is just ignorant.

   Review - Pidgin for Windows

   "GTK is themable, which means that you can change colors, fonts and how the actual widgets are drawn"
   
   GTK is what GAIM 0.6x uses for its interface. Check out the following page for more info:

   My only complaint.. When you are set as away there is always an item on your tackbar or on your screen. It would be nice if you could only make the away item disappear.

5. Comment - Do more Betanews readers use Linux PCs than Macs?

   This is not a very complex issue. As a long time Windows and Linux user I frequented this site as it generally has more information (posts & downloads) for the respective operating systems.
   Since switching over to OS X/iOS on all but my work laptop I have found the site less relevant, choosing to use sites such as Tuaw or AppleInsider.
   While there is some Mac related content on the site, it is buried underneath all of the other Windows & Linux content. This is not a bad thing but rather a matter of targeting an audience that consumes a larger portion of the market share (Windows) and the more technical groups (Linux).
   
   With some simple web analytics data and a cross analysis of the answers I would be willing to bet that there is not a one-to-one relationship between the answers and the platforms.
