XP evolving from NT Kernel is one of the best operating systems Microsoft has ever delivered. The beauty of XP SP 3 is that it can be uninstalled anytime if you are not happy with the performance. Unlike Windows Vista which was titled the Worst Product of 2007, one should not expect any surprises in XP SP. SP 3 also signals the end of sale of Windows XP OS in 2009 because SP 4 will be out in 2008 and the notice of discontinuity will be served thereafter.

XP Service Pack 3 is essentially updates from the release of XP SP 2. Your computer maybe automatically updated with only Critical patches and not all. Hence you are recommended to Download and Directly install Windows SP Service Pack 3 from Microsoft.

CopyToDVD 4 - Nero's Competitor

Monday, December 03, 2007

When it comes to CD/DVD burning, Nero has always been the favorite choice for most of us. However, we tested VSO Software's CopyToDVD 4 and we find it compelling enough to recommend to readers.

CopyToDVD 4 has an elegant and straightforward UI welcoming users to get their task done. Most popular is for the Copy to DVD with two panes providing some help and there's the main project window and the file browser window.

Burning an Audio CD is no problem - the software handles almost all audio formats. Converting to DVD means you need to get another software ConvertXToDVD which isn't FREE. The software consumes mere 20MB memory while doing its task. The price tag is $30 and is the installation file is just 10MB. We recommend this to users who have to backup data and occasionally burn Audio and Video CDs.
