Bean 1.0 (Mac OS X)
It has some nice features, like the ability to resize the page view simply by resizing the window by click-hold-drag. One quibble is the way it places the scroll bars together at the bottom instead of respecting the system setting (top and bottom on my machines). [alert admin]

Apple Leopard Graphics 1.0 (Mac OS X)
The text with this update is too vague. Are there new drivers for recent cards, bug fixes for specific recent cards? Does this update address anything when it comes to older cards like the 6800? [alert admin]

Apple Safari 3.0.4 (Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows 2000)
It's great to not have to manually delete anything after closing a browser. Safari is a great browser. Hopefully Apple will continue to improve its stability. [alert admin]

Readiris Pro 11.5.6 (Mac OS X)
Crashes always with Canon LiDE 25 scanner, can't update 
Software update doesn't work, so there is no way to update version 11.5.0, which we bought several copies of. Since all of the scanners in our lab are these Canon models, we can't use this software. MacInTouch.com wouldn't print negative feedback about this product so it's difficult to warn people. [alert admin]

Microsoft Office Open XML Converter 0.2.1 (Mac OS X)
There has been a converter our for versions of Windows Office as old as 2000, and yet we're still being offered a beta. I suppose this beta nonsense is going to go on until the next version of Office is released, and even then it wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft were to pull an Apple BootCamp maneuver and withdraw/expire the beta or never finish it. Customers are getting a rawer deal every year with these companies. Keep forking out the cash! This is what happens when there's no real competition in a "capitalist" marketplace. When was the last time there was a viable corporate competitor to Microsoft Office? [alert admin]

Age of Empires III 1.0.3 (Mac OS X)
Get Age of Empires II, it's a lot better
Age of Empires III doesn't play like the first three games. In my opinion it's very boring. Age of Empires I was fun, particularly when using priests to convert units. Age of Empires II, as the other reviewer below said, had interesting defensive strategies (castles, walls, towers). It also had a "big world" feel. Age of Empires III, in comparison, seems small and flat. Age of Mythology wasn't as good as the first two games, but it's better than this one. My 2 cents. [alert admin]

Microsoft Office 2004 11.3.9 (Mac OS X)
Still no converter for the new format!
Microsoft released a file converter (that also adds the new fonts like Constantia) for Windows Office. Versions as old as 2000 will now be able to work with files in the new format. So, that's three versions of Office that are covered: 2000, XP, and 2003. What about Mac Office? We're waiting... Microsoft will probably try to force us to buy the new version, which is still not available, in order to properly deal with the new format. Will this new version have some really needed improvements (like an Entourage that is fully featured and no extremely slow)? Highly doubtful. It will likely be a glossy skin on an old product. Entourage is so slow that we've had to replace otherwise perfectly useable 17" flat panel iMacs because our university switched to Exchange. As Apple has decided to orphan these machines, we can't use the new Leopard Mail, which allows a single Exchange account. Tiger Mail runs really well on these Macs, but Entourage is so slow that professors with Titanium Powerbooks gave up on checking e-mail at home (via DSL) completely, and others with much more recent machines are quite annoyed. Microsoft's bloated sub-par Entourage isn't going to improve much in the next release. The new "upgrade" is mainly about giving Mac users the priviledge of using the new file format, without a sketchy beta converter. Joy. Don't expect a converter for Office 2004 or X like the one available for Windows. Note to other universities and businesses... If you care about your Mac users and can't afford to replace otherwise excellent machines like 17" flat panel iMacs, don't switch to Exchange. [alert admin]

Apple Mac OS X 10.5 (Mac OS X)
Finder functionality regression - audio previewing
There is a surprising and very disappointing usability regression in OS X Leopard. In column view, music files offer a large negative-feeling black box with pixelated musical notes. Not only is this box amateurish and unattractive in comparison to the sleek preview bar of the Tiger Finder, it is a major regression in functionality. The hidden controls provide no way to move around in the song, just stop and start. Tiger and Panther provided full-length previewing of music content, with the very important and very useful ability to move from place to place in the file. I don't want to manually open music files all the time in Quicktime Player and this is what I'm forced to do by this regression. Please restore the functionality or I will go back to Tiger because, as a musician, I have to deal with a lot of music files and require the preview that OS X once had. If it's not broken, why break it? [alert admin]

Microsoft Office 2004 11.3.8 (Mac OS X)
Monolithic update would be welcome
Microsoft finally started lumping multiple Office updates together a while back, but hasn't done so since the .3.5 update. So, users installing Office have to download and install that one, then .3.6, then 3.7, and finally this one. This is hardly efficient. Microsoft should combine all the updates into a single package, as it did with the .3.5 update. The extremely glaring omission is a non-beta converter for the new file format. Microsoft is frankly abusing its Mac customers by not providing a monolithic Office updater that includes a seamless and completely functional converter. [alert admin]

Your post is hardly objective. There are serious shortcomings in the bloated and overpriced MS Office suite for OS X. Entourage's performance, for instance, is so poor on the Mac that since our university has adopted Exchange for e-mail and switched everyone to Entourage, people are having to dump perfectly good computers (like 17" 800 Mhz flat panel iMacs) because Entourage slows the machines down to a crawl. It's absurd that e-mail is something Microsoft…

Versiontracker should have categories for crippleware and adware. I don't know if SMS Plus does it, but some of his emulators have had ads for Emulator Enhancer in them, and reduced functionality, functionality available with the purchase of that.

Before being juvenile and calling people names, you might reconsider your point that being unable to download the update is completely irrelevant to the Versiontracker.com feedback. Perhaps you can explain how one might rate software they're unable to get. I have my own name for you: fanboy.

Thank you for that prefs solution! I searched the prefs several times in version 9.02 (or something similar) and didn't find anything that seemed relevant and gave 9.1's prefs a quick look-over. I guess I missed that pref. Still, the program shouldn't be so modal by default, so that when the tab bar is turned off, the functionality is broken.

You personally attacked me, and now you refuse to even acknowledge the screen shot that proves I'm right. Keep talking about bug reports and posting silly things like "if the bug exists". It's there in the screen shot. Unless you can say you tried turning off tabbed browsing and had no problems getting back to the main browser window after downloading something, you are wasting everyone's time with comments like that.

What nonsense. I tried to use the browser and gave up, because with a 1024x768 screen, I didn't want the tab bar on because I don't use tabs and don't want to waste the screen space. It does seem inexplicable that such a big issue remains in Opera 9, but unless it's been fixed in 9.1, which I seriously doubt (and will test today), it's a show-stopper for me. Your silly assumptions about me are completely false.
