Interesting Software and System News

would be about time...already threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee months   OK seriously, I know it's gonna be a beta/RC (the SP) during months and won't be released before May or June. It's not that badly needed yet is it   Personally I wouldn't install a beta service pack   It was OK to run the beta of the OS, the RC too, living "dangerously" a few months (just kidding, they were stable, otherwise...) but I won't risk an unfinished upgrade on my final version install

Okay, Microsoft is violating their own End-User License Agreement. I wonder why they didn't bother to include the Home Editions?

As ZDNet’s Sam Diaz reports:

Over the next few weeks, Google Docs will expand to allow users to upload any type of file - music, photos, graphics, zip files, and more -
into their accounts. The file size maxes out at 250 MB and there’s a minimum 1 GB of storage space included with the account.

Another good reason to get Google Docs

Could this be the long awaited GDrive

That's why I ditched Avira and came to avast!

Maybe my posts over there were deleted by the moderators as they could not figure out how to solve a simple problem and embarase themselves.

you are right YoKenny, the mods and developer rarely listen to users, there are some bugs from years ago in Avira which yet has not been solved, problems from version 7 and yet in beta 10 there are same problems... but no one can ignore their high detection rate.

[Hermite15]

it's not just that  Grin There are older Thread for same problem

yeah that's why I said for years 

so you're saying no update during week ends in a case of a general FP failure... cool

Be Patient
I've been a Plus user for many years but, this was worth an extra license to be used as a gift.

It took me about 20 min. and many uses of the back button to finally get the transaction done.

Hopefully avast! 5's order lpage will get that busy too,
