Virtual PC
Jul 28 2006

SAES  Virtual PC was actually created by Connectix. They were great, and had a few other really useful products, including the old-school 68K to PPC emulators (Rosetta for the previous generation) and a really nice mac playstation emulator. Virtual PC was sold to Microsoft and at that point most of the rest of the company was absorbed into the collective. Ah well. I wonder if kept alive, the next version will offer any advantages over Parallel's Workstation for intel macs?

SAES  Transmission is available as a universal binary. It's incredibly lightweight and quick. http://transmission.m0k.org/

***½.

SAES  While Acquisition works, in that it's an attractive and functional gnutella/bittorent client, it pains me to see the software totally crippled and reduced to nagware, in it's unregistered form. Version 130.4 introduces novel measures to entice (force) people to pay, which basically renders Acquisition useless until money is passed over. It's saddening to see this happen. If the developer alienates his market like this, I don't really see why we should pay for it. If he were to relax and allow the obvious merits of software to sell itself, I'd feel much happier paying. For the while though, I can't be bothered putting up with this, freer alternatives exist.

FORKIES  I agree with SAES, while this app works fairly well, it has become so full of nags for unregistered users. My reaction, however, is the opposite; I think it's hilarious to see the developer throw in all these extra measures while inadvertanly making Acquisition the least dignified shareware app I've ever seen. ah well
