Bud's Biased Utils Report #23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alright, I just picked up the new disc from The Tea Party... so this intro is gonna suck. Bite me. This intro ends at the end of this sentence... this sentence right now... PERIOD. Disclaimer: It's BIASED moron. My opinion. So don't send me a bunch of mail & messages bitching about this or that. If you don't like it... SCREW YOU =] Rankings: Groups get a score out of 10. Points are given for amount of releases, but QUALITY titles will give a group a much higher score. Nukes for duping, broken releases and just plain CRAP will lower a groups score. However on the occasion that a title is nuked which I don't feel should have been, MY OWN JUDGEMENT TAKES PRECEDENCE. Cuz I'm writing this. Groups can also get points for any other reason I see fit. Week: Week is based from 06/01/99 to 06/07/99. I'm in the EST time zone so dates/times run according to it.

My point is, what's happening to the quality control in Corp? I'm stretching this a little, but you get the idea... dupes last week, and a typing app this week. Give them credit, they came back with some good stuff... Office 2K is a bit iffy... hell I'm sick of MS shit altogether now, but I'll give it to them. FP is better.

SHK continues to move away from the web stuff. McAffee Office 2K is not free, some idiot believed that... scary... also scary: sheep nukers. Anyways it's a retail app ($50 or so), and unlike past editions, it isn't just a pack of dupes. All the components are new versions (Nuts & Bolts, Uninstaller, etc), with the exception of the AV and one other. And these versions aren't yet available on the web. Best app here however is LH Voice XPress Pro 4, from the Belgian (I believe) company L&H (Lernout & Hauspie), a rising star in the voice recognition field. Total: 7/10 .

Siege all the way, with a well rounded week with releases from four industry powerhouses... ok 3, with Lotus controled by IBM... so I live in the past, so what :P Speaking of which, check out that IBM testimony against M$ regarding unfair business practises as to the M$ reaction from the IBM/Lotus deal and IBM's bundling of it's systems with Lotus applications in OS2... MS is starting to get to me, especially after hearing some of this case. First they make an operating system so full of holes Tipper Gore could fit through em, then they resort dirty tactics just to keep it from sinking. I wonder... if I sued M$ for mental stress caused by their problematic software (plus system damage), would I have a hope in hell of winning? Just a thought... I do have those every so often . - Bud
