Opera started off the morning by pleasing a lot of people! They broke the news that work on Opera 9.5 is almost to the point where they can begin releasing weekly builds to the public. They were a little light when it came to what new features would be included, but you can surely expect to see great things coming from their developers. Here’s what they did say:
Windows Longhorn Reloaded was a project that several individuals worked on in hopes of bringing Longhorn back to life. It was less than a month ago that the Longhorn Reloaded project released their first milestone, and Microsoft finally sent them the cease and desist letter after more than 60,000 downloads.
The Windows MarketPlace is known as the one-stop shop for all your Windows software and hardware needs. Well, for some people it is but I normally never visit the site myself. They do have a nice list of over 5,000 free applications though, and for a little bit Ubuntu was actually one of the offerings.
Calling all Fishing Fans! Now there’s no need to polish up your fishing pole, get out a fancy lure, or go out and buy a new reel and rod to prepare for a weekend fishing trip. Instead, just purchase the pre-release for Hooked (ships in September), a fishing game for the Wii which EBGames is selling with a “free fishing” controller.
So here we sit, 5-months after the consumer launch of Vista and 7-months after the commercial/business launch. Seeing that security is an important aspect in many people’s lives, Jeff Jones decided to see how Vista stacked up more than 6-months after its release.
Back in April, the Google Talk Translator hinted that Group Chat and AIM Integration would be coming sooner or later. AIM Integration isn’t here, but group chat is! Just today they launched a new feature that allows you to invite multiple people into a conversation.
Use Windows Live Messenger? Now you’ll receive your updates for Messenger via Windows Updates. You may have noticed the Windows Update icon in your taskbar today. Click on it, and you’ll see the update for Messenger 8.5 beta. This is the first time that Microsoft has taken this route to distribute updates for Messenger.
Some of you may have seen this before because it’s been floating around the web for several years now, but it’s still funny to watch, even if you’ve seen it already.
