Before the negative posts start arriving please understand that this is my comment to the editorial story on IDG which I’ve linked here for you entitled:
To clarify, I call any PC which a user sits at, that has the traditional keyboard, mouse and display a desktop PC.
I cannot fault the author of that article because it is simply true. You can convert users, but over time without good constant support from a real person they are likely to move back to Windows.
With a great deal of disappointment I have to make this post. I have been a avid user of this tool in the past (I’m still running a pretty old version of this on a XP box) since it expedited deleting of files that were locked by an application. It would clearly identify whom locked the file and give me the option to delete it. However it appears that it is in fact bundled with ADWARE. This is defined by some AV products as a Trojan, including Microsoft Essentials as TrojanClicker:Win32/Yabector.gen
It should be noted that CNet’s Download.com ‘verifys’ its spyware free, yet obviously either this was a clear ‘miss’ on their part, or they do not classify adware as spyware. This confirms my thinking that anything on Download.com should be considered ‘risky’ software since they either mislead or don’t bother to check the software that’s uploaded or availble from download.com. My thinking is they simply are misleading by ‘verify’ing it contains no spyware. Others have disclosed this over the past year and a bit that this version has been around for download so I think ample time was provided for Cnet to correct this.
For those that have been following me since January of this year you may be aware that I took advantage of downloading the open beta version and testing it on a few machines.
I had really good luck with various systems and even installing it in VMware. My only real hangup was my main gaming rig which runs Windows XP SP3, simply refused to detect the DVD drive. Which was very strange since it was booting and running the setup from the very same drive. All the VMware machine I build used the same drive also although I’m aware VMware does use it’s own drivers but that was it. Every other box, method I tried worked without major problem
Today Saturday Oct 24, 2009 I took the liberty of installing both Windows 7 Ultimate x64 AND Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 Karmic Koala Release Candidate x64 on the exact same laptop a Compaq presario CQ60 laptop which came with Vista Home Basic which I really did not want. If you want to find out about my Installation for Ubuntu check out the next story. I’m publishing this one first so it should be the one right after or the newer one.
Well Apple has released another update but it appears that they didn’t bother to announce the update. I was just pushed out and supposedly resolves a bunch of little issues, with things like ‘connectivity’ according to the notes I read. But the real news is the fact that new iPhone 3GS shipping as we speak to a vendor near you will be using the new Bootrom, the iBoot 359.3.2 which protects the iPhone from jailbreaking using the 24kpwn exploit.
The iPhone Dev-Team is currently working on a possible solution, but are making several suggestions to anyone thinking of getting a new 3GS and what to do to prepare for any chance of jailbreaking it. I’d like to say I didn’t see this coming but honestly I’m surprised it took this long. How long it lasts? Well, stay tuned.
For the rest of the public, PwanageTool 3.1.4 has been released and works with the new update. Feel free to comment about how you feel about jailbreaking, and this development and whether this will sway your decision to purchase an iPhone.
