If above was meant to me, I was just asking how much he was able to compress...

Same with me.. I compressed a 20MB file to some 16-17MB...

R u kidding... who's talking abt download.com....

I was talking about getting commercial stuff for free... by the looks of it, u throw they away and settle for freeware, so atleast we could make use of it.....

@panchabhut

Why would you need DIVX player when you have so many other player


----

IMexperience MS office is one of the softwares which creates so many registry entries and slows down OS considerably.

panchabhut

personal experience, for some files nothing else seems to work properly

ShAdOwCoN

Yeah .... what can i do ... i love to collect softwares .... i get it for free .... but i cannot use all of it

For example i have used a lot of commercial anti-viruses like NOD32 , Nortan , Avast Professional (i have posted a review here) ,Panda , Mc Afee etc etc

I found Avira to be best ! and so all other anti-viruses are now show pieces

Same case with other softwares like Nero 9 ... i said in some previous post that i uninstalled it in a few days because it was resource intensive
I use Nero 7 now

Apart from that ,the commercial ware i use is work related
like

Microsoft SQL server , Matlab , Visual Studio , Rational Rose etc

PS : Also I ditched Vista for XP

newprouser

Ahhh lucky you... If you can spare me one , I'd love to have to Norton 09 licence.
