Review - Foxit Reader
5.3.0.0423 (May 3, 2012)

Foxit has reached a new low, graduating from pre-checked homepage hijacking and ignoring your file association choices to actually embedding malware in their product. Truly sad..I actually liked this program. ***DANGER - AVOID***
Review - Mozilla Thunderbird (v13)
13.0 Beta 1 (May 2, 2012)

1997 called. They want their email client back.

Still no third pane for contacts. Still can't import addresses from CSVs or similar files to save its life. Still can't figure out that "categories" and "tags" are the same damn thing. STILL lacks most basic right-click functions that nearly every other client has included for a decade. Hell, the UI just caught up to clients from the Windows 98 era. TB's only strength is its server database that makes configuring most accounts a matter of putting in your address and password - why can't that sort of innovation be extended to the other aspects of the program?? If not for that nifty feature I'd rate it a 2..maybe even a 1 just to drive home the point.
Review - Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)
Consumer Preview (Mar 5, 2012)

This could be the beginning of the end for the house that Gates built. Microsoft's obsession with chasing Apple even when it makes no sense to do so has led them to this: the OS that nobody asked for almost nobody likes (unless you count hard-core Microsoft apologists, fanboys and those who rely on the Windows break-fix cycle for a living). There's just no way to put a good spin on this, so I'll simply say it: Windows 8 is a complete failure, a disaster on every level and needs to be trashed. Microsoft should immediately switch focus back to to supporting Windows 7 and building a Windows 9 that's actually worth using. Its that simple.
Review - Handy Start Menu
1.40 (Dec 6, 2011)

No visual style customization at all. Uses Windows 2000 default font. Menu always opens to full size with awful transparency covering most of screen, even if there's only one item to display. Automatic dividers in menus have no organizational purpose. Might be promising if it could be modified to actually look like part of the OS instead of a blurry, random disaster.
Review - Agnitum Outpost Antivirus Pro (64-bit)
7.5.1 (Aug 30, 2011)

Doesn't work very well on Wiin7 (slowdowns, unresponsive control panel). Nearly [b]broke[b] my XP-64 install. Not very well written at all.

The decision by hacktivist group Anonymous calls its motives again into question, and could put these police officers at risk.

WTF..? Um, there was never any question about their "motives" (anarchy, vanity, immaturity). The only people who would support bomb-throwers like this are those who secretly enjoy seeing others hurt and long to do it themselves. Anyone who supports a terrorist is automatically suspect themselves. When their done locking up the ringleaders of this sad bunch of malcontents, they should looking into anyone who provided aid and comfort.

And endangering innocent people, and making absurd excuses for their crimes, as terrorists do.

Oh, so the transit cops are a real threat to your freedom? Wow, you must have jumped a lot of queues. And probably fallen down a lot while doing it, because you sound like you've got serious head trauma.

I'd love to hear you explain exactly what "values" you think Anonymous extols. On second thought, forget it - you're far too stupid and delusional to come up with even a bogus argument.
