Microsoft Max

Microsoft Max is a code name for a new program that Microsoft is coming out with. It is essentially a photo album with browser type functions. I loaded the program to try it out (Even though it is in a beta version) and it took probably 20 minutes or more just to get it loaded. Once I got it loaded and opened the program it took up a bunch of my CPU usage and put a big load on my memory. Once it was open it seem to run fine at a normal CPU and Memory level. I then tried loading pictures on it and then it spiked to high level again and took forever to get the pictures. It is also not user friendly. I had to hunt around to find a way to navigate to pictures that I wanted and it didn't tell me where I could edit the name of a list of pictures.
The plus side is that they provide a forum and many features you can use to get help on it.
I usually don't give Microsoft a bad review but this is the worst program I have ever seen come out of Microsoft. The concept is good but it needs a lot of improvement.
Warning: If you dare to install it make sure that you do the updates for it and if you remove it remove all instances of it. Oh and make sure you don't open any thing else while testing it.

Quintura

I found this program roaming around the internet. This is a nice program because it gives a different look at searching. When you put in your search querry it lists all the search results from different sites plus gives you possble querries that you might use to further your search.
Check it out go to this site and click Free Download.
Then open the program and do a quick search you will easily get the idea because it is user friendly.

Link Fun!!

Here is a site from Yahoo that gives the top nine websites for every Monday through Friday. It is called The 9 Most of the links are kind of goofy but sometimes there is something in here that you have never seen before. You can also look through the Archives to see if there is anything in there that you missed.
Click Here and see photos of the people that make this site happen.

Need a script?

I don't know how good they are but it looks like reputable site to get scripts from.
They have all kinds but my link points to the basic logon scripts.
Some are good if you have an older operating system.
