| 711390 | 2008-10-11 02:37:00 | Hi Everyone, I need to ask you some questions. What do you think is the best... 1. Antivirus program? 2. Internet Browser? 3. Office suite? (e.g. MS Office, Open Office, Star Office etc.) 4. Media Player? 5. Email program? 6. Instant Messaging program? Then I'll only install that program and remove all others in that category. Thanks 1. AVG8-The stupid sounds and weird UI put me off Avast 2. I'd say FF3-for the speed and add-ons 3. I know openoffice is really good and all but slow start-up times and STILL no support for docx files has made M$'s office 07 a winner. 4. VLC-I find its more stable than other media players. 5. I originally used Outlook for my gmail account but I just couldn't get it to allow me to send mail and url links in emails would not open so I tried thunderbird. Simple minimalistic interface. 6. WLM-I love pidgin for its stability and mininalistic interface but I choose WLM cause of its emoticons and I find its UI easy to use |

V3 may support it, according to some sites. It'll natively support it (opening and saving docx files) Which maybe out, or is due to be released this month |

| 711394 | 2008-10-11 03:31:00 | Nope Will have to wait till it appears on the site. Its a bit slow. As it looks like you can download it on other sites |

| 711395 | 2008-10-11 03:33:00 | When it does appear on the site I hope it has better download speeds than the ones I downloaded OO3 beta... | Blam (54) | ||

| 711398 | 2008-10-11 06:06:00 | 1. Avast 4 Home (free) or Eset Smart Security (Pay) 2. Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x (free) 3. MS Office 2007 (pay) 4. Windows Media Player (free) or VLC to play video 5. Outlook 2007 (part of Office 2007) or Outlook Express 6. Windows Live Messenger (free - in beta at the moment but very stable) All exactly the Same as jwil1 with the following added in - Office - Ability Office (www.ability.com/) - have several different versions works and look EXACTLY like MS Office 2003 and a fraction of the cost, only thing it doesn't have is an Email program (outlook) |
