117070 2003-01-29 05:22:00 well opera7 final (for windows) is out and kicking. you can download here (www.opera.com) and i suggest get the non-java ver (get java from java.sun.com(i think)). there are a few bugs still. exit comfirmation dosn't work and the bookmarks can 'fail". if you find the bookmarks buuton dosn't work (you should be able to get to them via the hotlist) go and clean out any longer than 60 letters long and make sure theres not many in the main list (eg put them all into folders).

divx 5.0.3 is out at divx.com, pro users just install it over the top as its a free upgrade. it has a few new features as well as somebugs fixes so it can play early buggy codecs a bit better.

Lindows Media Center has been Released (www.msfn.org)

just after the jvi6 final comes jv16 PowerTools 1.3.0.183 Beta (www.majorgeeks.com)

117071 2003-01-29 06:09:00 Why get the non java version tweak'e? What does the java component do? And why is it a final version if it still has bugs? Would I not be better to keep my older version? Which does have java, cos I didn't know what wouldn't work without it. Danger (287)
117072 2003-01-29 06:24:00 You'll only need to get the java version if you don't already have a java thing installed. -=JM=- (16)

117074 2003-01-29 06:54:00 >Why get the non java version

cause its smaller and a lot of people all ready have sun java installed already. no point to downloading java twice and i think they bundle the old ver of java with it. the latest java has a lot of bug fixes.

> What does java do?

lets you veiw/use/run all the java apps on webpages.

>And why is it a final version if it still has bugs?

no idea. try asking Microsoft that one ;-)

>Would I not be better to keep my older version?

opera7 fixes a few long standing faults so it should veiw all standard compliant web pages which earlier ver don't. also its quicker(judging from my testing today). unlike IE you can have both opera6 and opera7 installed if you like :)

117075 2003-01-29 10:25:00 Ok, another silly question? What are java apps on web pages? Still don't know what java does.

>And why is it a final version if it still has bugs?

no idea. try asking Microsoft that one <

But Microsoft don't distribute Opera!

And if the latest java has alot of bug fixes, I guess its better to delete the old java and download the new!?
