Moderators rridgely Posted August 27, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2005 http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/content.aspx?ctid=119 Its nothing special but I thought it was pretty cool of microsoft to put up a link to firefox under browsers. Too bad they didnt include thunderbird under the email program section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 28, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 28, 2005 Pretty cool of them to have a list like that. I noticed they also listed RAV AntiVirus 8 Full Engine Update by GeCad Software what's even more interesting is Microsoft acquired RAV's intellectual property rights in June 2003, confirmed here.

Eldmannen Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 They have ClamWin Antivirus there too I noticed. Really strange that Microsoft have software like that on their site. Also have the Gimp. Firefox, Clam, GIMP okay thats +3 karms points to Microsoft. They're still got more minus than plus points though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I searched for Linux and got an offer to buy Windows XP! They have CCleaner! http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/prices.a...&stext=CCleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Its too bad they don't have this Avast Home Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/down_home.html Its the best around. EDIT: I was wrong, here it is; http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/prices.a...=1468899&stext= Told you it was the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Norton does the most crappy products ever, many people agreed on this earlier. What is funny about Norton products is that for every new version it only gets worse and worse. And as for Norton Antivirus, it takes up far too many resources.

Guest Mangix Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 rofl. norton doesnt take up any resources. infact it takes about none and norton accually scans spyware, adware, malware, viruses, and all the other bad junk. even Spybot and Microsoft Antispy couldnt find em. therefore Norton owns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 29, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2005 My only real gripe about Norton is the amount of stuff it installs. When I used it in my Win98 days it didn't hog resources on my old system although it did have a slow loading GUI after NAV 2000. I've never tried it on my WinXP system and never will.
