Reviews

Skype 4.1 beta

Skype's new screen-sharing feature is a clever addition to the VoIP communications application. The new beta also sees birthday reminders reinstated, a favourite feature of past builds.
Chrome (beta)

Google has rethought the Internet browser — some of its basic underpinnings are quite novel — but users will recognise some features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.
Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium beta

Digital designers who don't need support for print or film work will find enhanced integration throughout the updates to Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator and more.

Adobe Fireworks CS3 beta

Adobe's page prototyping tool plays better with Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Flash.
Norton Internet Security 2007

Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioural monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.

Microsoft is spicing up PowerPoint with new templates, animation effects, and image editing tools.
Microsoft Office 2007 beta 2 (technical refresh)

Microsoft's last round of updates before the final release of Office 2007 is packed with subtle interface adjustments and new ways to personalise the applications.
