Software Updates Week 3 2008

It’s already the third week of the new year and my third post of the Software Updates article series. In it I take a look at the software updates of the last seven days. I mention all the applications that have been updated in that time and that have been mentioned previously on my website.

All new applications get their own article on my website which means that you will not miss out any new or updated software if you follow my blog regularly.

Some programs are always on the weekly lists like µTorrent, Azureus and Bitcomet while others are not updated that frequently.

   I’m up to date again thanks to another of your Software Updates. Plus I discovered a new one that I’ll give a try called QTTabbar.
