   Review - Countdown Pro for Windows

   2.0.0b (Jul 16, 2006)

   This software is clearly the product of a university or college project and no where near ready for the primetime (if such a piece of software has a use) Outlook anyone??

   Review - Mozilla Firefox (v2) for Windows

   2.0 Alpha 3 (May 30, 2006)

   Really not a fan at the moment. Same rendering problems as 1.X and problems using it through the ISA Firewall Client.
   
   Also bad habit of stealing extensions for other programs withough asking the user is still present.
   
   I will keep reccomending Opera as an alternative browser for my clients for the time being.

   Review - Microsoft Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor

   Beta 1 Release Build 1.0.0.18 (May 19, 2006)

   I do not see the problem with this tool.
   
   I have used the latest build of Vista Ultimate and am very impressed. It ran fine on one of my machines which is 3 years old.
   
   -Dual Athlon MP 2400+
   - 40GB HD
   - 1.5GB RAM
   - 256MB Radeon
   
   I am aware that most users may not have a GB of RAM but the upgrade problem happens with every release of a new operating system Including Linux and OSX and others.
   
   Of course you can't expect to put the latest OS on your machine and expect it to run perfectly!
   
   There will always be a gap of a few years while hardware catches up.
   
   Get real, I would bet a large sum of money that everyone who is using 2K/XP/9x now will be Microsoft bashing using WIndows Vista in a few years time.
   
   A number of your "reviews" may have been different if you had taken the time to read the documentation on the product home page:

4. Comment - Microsoft Sues eBay Software Pirates

   Beta 1 Release Build 1.0.0.18 (Mar 16, 2006 - 11:17 AM)

   I am lucky enough to be in the Microsoft Partner Program and a subscriber to the MAPS (Micorosft Action Pack Subscribtion) program. This means that I get just about every MS Program worth having for development\training use within my small business for around 300 GBP per year. This includes:
   
   Windows XP (X10)
   Windows XP x64
   Windows Server 2003 (3 Versions)
   Exchange 2003
   Office 2003 including Visio, Project
   SQL Server 2005
   And loads more.
   
   Microsoft make it very easy to get their software cheaply be it through Academic, Volume or OEM licensing. It's just taking the time to do it.
   
   I wonder how many of the other posters are using legal copies of Windows....?
   
   Well done Microsoft
