Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Five Language Standalone

Yup...chuffed I installed it

Pros: together with the security, tweaking and default apps, I think SP1 is real added value...i have noticed a general, all round efficiency step up...from starup to shut down...scans thru to defragging etc...etc...particularly on HomePremium..the restore points summarily deleted themselves leaving me without a RP at all...wierd...this is now fixed..coolio

I have noticed however that on HomeP copying from disc drive to the HDD has slowed somewhat....however on Ultimate its whizz bang...hmmm!...still i give it a giga thumbs up

PolderbitS Sound Recorder and Editor

Version: 6 build 96

Love it....

Pros: absolutely dead simple to use...and....brilliant results...beats buying USB cassette decks or turntables...forget it...just install this and your off

with built in mic..levelling editors...equalizer & tweaks such as crackle & scratch depression from choked vinyl....I think the results you get from this are ultra cool

your vinyl is re-invigorated and cassettes dragged right up to date....and with the processing power we have these days...you hear your old tunes as you never have...especially thru the home system thru real/monkey or winamp...perfect

Internet Download Manager

Version: 5.14 build 3

I find it unstable

Cons: not too concerned about superfast downloads, as i have a 100mb loop, however when downloading multiple files, I find it somewhat unstable and invariably drops the connection & hey presto have to start over....no big, but embedding or downloading a link through a browser is far superior I feel & not dropped yet

aTunes

Version: 1.9

Hey there black hole....

Pros: always keen to try a new jukebox, but am I doing something wrong....HPSP1, Java6 R7...yup....so let's go...er no.

for some odd reason it does not load, recognise or scan music files at all, ogg, mp3, wma you name it...tried left & right clicking to add but no go here.

tried the forums for a solution, cos the interface is cool & the gang & was really keen to give it a shot, not a lot to go on there...Soooo....I'l stick to me usual players thanks dudes but perhaps in a few months when it's less buggy I guess..

good luck no!

Cons: See above...

WinDirStat

Version: 1.1.2

neat tool...ultra recommended

Pros: after installing Vista SP1, I noticed a few odd things here n there, not least I had just lost 5gb into thin air...this tool picked it up & shazam, regained it...nice, superb for tracking files/folders, freeing up space and identifying stuff you just do not need, highly recommend freeing up a little real estate for this chap

Cons: agree with one of the commentors....it allows you to delete easily within the app itself & allows you to securely delete....which should be used with caution
