MSN Messenger 7.5MSN Messenger 7.5 is popular

MSN Messenger 7.5 has been selected as a top choice by our editors in the category of Internet Utilities One of the best known instant messengers worldwide, Microsoft's MSN Messenger comes with a complete set of options such as direct links to your e-mail Inbox, MSN home page, and address book. MSN Messenger includes video and voice conversation options as well as animated winks, shared search, photo swap between you and your friends or a personal music message which displays the track you are listening to while communicating with friends. There is also a range of funny online games that can be played by two or more peers. Some exciting features of MSN Messenger are the Whiteboard, Remote Assistance and Application Sharing. These features, only available with MSN Messenger give chatters the opportunity to share data or be part in a remote assistance session with partial or complete control of the target workstation. In version 7.5 you can record a short voice message (up to 15 seconds) that can be played by your peer; you can add an animated graphic as your conversation backgrounds.

Internet Explorer 7.0Internet Explorer 7.0 is popular

Internet Explorer 7.0 has been selected as a top choice by our editors in the category of Internet Utilities The long expected final version of Internet Explorer 7 is here. After the beta versions, Microsoft Corp. have released on the market a truly competitive Web browser. With enhanced security features designed to provide a high degree of security during any Web surfing experience, a newly implemented 'Windows Customer Service Experience Improvement Program' and many more useful features, Internet Explorer 7 appears to be a very good alternative to Mozilla Firefox or Opera. Let's have a look at the user interface: tabbed design, customizable toolbar, 'Favorites Center' containing history and RSS feeds, 'Windows Live' search engine included by default. All the open tabs can be displayed in thumbnail mode (Quick Tabs), the search engine section can be customized by adding or removing search providers and setting your favorite search engine as default. Considering how much Microsoft have spent on developing this new version, the final product is not nice. I find it hangs and crashes on both my work machine and home machine. The rearrangement of the menus into buttons in odd places seem to be a useability nightmare. Millions (billions?) of people around the world have got used to the standard menu bar style for programs, and now they will have to relearn how to use Windows apps. I think this applies to Windows Vista and Office 2007. Some useability group at Microsoft must have used non-computer literate users to redefine their user interface for the next few years, at great useability cost to the millions of existing computer users.
