Beta test these progams.
Finally Microsoft are starting to release some newer editions of their software that we have all been using for years. And actually they are doing a bloody good job of it as well. Here are the latest releases from the Redmond camp:
Windows Media Player 11
Quite a big change from MP 10. This now has an improved design and some new features. It takes a while to learn how to navigate through it so it isn't as easy to use as iTunes. However it does give the Apple program a run for its money, and to be totally honest WMP was always well ahead of iTunes in some respects... especially with the inclusion of video, pictures and recorded tv. Plus it doesn't lock you into having to use the AAC format!
Give it a try here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/11/default.aspx
Internet Explorer 7
Finally after about 5 years (and more probably) and god knows how many security updates later we say goodbye to IE6. out with the old and in with the new. Here comes IE7 and what a complete change. There are many basic similarities to the king of browsers, Firefox. However, there are some new features and whole host of new security additions that practically make this a compulsary download! The Print Preview feature is nice, as well as the Quick Tabs button thats pretty cool too.
Give it a try here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx
Windows Messenger Live
This is the latest installment of messenger which is actually quite nice and lot prettier.

All these progams from Microsoft are still in BETA which means you are the guinea pig! Now, I would say download them at your own risk but to be honest all three are just about ready for public release. I will also add these programs will find their way into Windows Vista so it's the latest technology that you can try out right now.
Happy Downloading!
