    Skype 3

    The changes to Skype 3 are mostly entertainment-oriented and there are no major upgrades to performance, but we still like Skype for its ease of use, low cost, and sound quality.

    McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007

    Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.

  9. Skype 2 (beta)

    Skype 2 (beta)

    Though Skype 2 suffers from middling voice quality when calling landline phones, it's still one of the best free VoIP services around, and its new Skype Video feature makes it even better.

  10. Mozilla Firefox 1.5

    Mozilla Firefox 1.5

    While Firefox 1.5 isn't too different from the original release, what's new should attract even more Firefox users -- and that's ultimately good for the Internet.
