With just a few days left to end 2007, it’s time to take a look back on the past twelve months and see how software has evolved all along this year, especially for us Windows users. There have been key software releases and improvements for the Windows platform during this year, starting with a new operating system and ending with a new version of Firefox that’s about to be announced.
My friend and colleague Nick just published a post comparing the merits of internet TV programs Miro (formerly known as ‘Democracy Player’) and Joost. While he has laid out a convincing argument for why he believes Miro to be the better option, I must say that I completely disagree with him.
Two of the biggest TV apps out there are Joost – from the makers of Skype – and Miro which was formerly known as Democracy Player. Both have their hardcore supporters and denouncers and both have their pros and cons. Although I was initially impressed with Joost – surely one of the best attempts at offering a dedicated scheduled Internet TV service yet – I’ve gravitated back to Miro and here is why.
Yesterday we brought you the news that Democracy Player would be relaunched as Miro. Today, we can finally test the newly released version of the Internet TV application. Although not a major update, the soon-out-of-beta release has a number of significant improvements like keyboard shortcuts, an improved system tray, a better bug reporter (essential for a program still in beta), and the Veoh.com search engine has been added. The developers at PCF have also taken care of a number of bugs. Maximizing the window will not cover the task bar, importing has been increased and will now avoid audio files. Oddly enough, Yahoo has also been removed as a search engine, but if you really like it, you can still add it manually.
In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:
It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.
We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.
This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.
Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.
It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.
It’s highly probable this software program is malicious or contains unwanted bundled software.
Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are likely to be real positives.
