Review
Miranda IM is a fast and lightweight open source Instant Messenger client. It supports various protocols and it’s fairly easy to use and configure. I am using Digsby and Skype to stay in touch with my friends and partners from my home computer but unfortunately I can’t use those on my PC at the office because I can’t install software on that computer. That’s why I chose to test Miranda IM, it has a portable version After downloading the program you have to set up your accounts for the protocols that you prefer. It’s quite easy, you should be able to complete the configuration in a few minutes.

Once you have set up the program you can talk to your friends, nothing complicated there. In fact, Miranda IM might shock you with its simplicity. It doesn’t even support emoticons, you can’t send files to your friends, nothing, just chat.

The program is very light indeed, it took only 8 MB of memory on my PC and that’s quite low by any standards. The good thing is that you can customize the program to suit your taste and needs, there are hundreds of plugins and addons that you can install.

Review
Media Portal is an open source program that can turn your PC into an advanced multi-media center. With this program you can watch movies, TV, listen to the radio or to your music files, record TV shows or read you emails and RSS feed items. The people that made this program initially worked on the media center application for Microsoft XBox and after finishing that they created this open source program for the PC.
The program is very complex and my advice is to take some time to configure it right after finishing the installation procedure. You can add your TV tuner or DVB card so that it will be recognized by the program later on. You can also use various types of remote controls that are supported by this software.

Once you have finished the configuration you can get going, watch TV, movie files, music, you can even get the weather if you have a working internet connection.

There is almost no limit to what this program can do. The only thing that was a bit disappointing for me was that it’s quite greedy with your system resources and it tends to get sluggish and slow now and then. If you have a low end PC you might better not even try to install this, it could bring your PC to its knees faster than you think.
The program can also be enriched with the several plugins and extensions that are available on the developer’s website.

Download Full Version XNView

 XNView

Overview
XNView is a freeware program that can be used as an image viewer or as a graphic file converter. It can open around 400 graphic file types.
Review
My favorite image viewer right now is Google’s Picasa 3 and I guess the best way to test XNView is to compare it with Picasa. Fot this purpose I chose a monster JPG file, 42 megs in size with a resolution of 13616 per 9888 pixels, a picture of my country’s map, Romania. Both programs successfully opened the file in around 10 to 15 seconds, so there were no major differences there. There was a huge difference in the memory footprint though. Picasa 3 took around 50 megs of memory in the picture editing mode while XNView was way over that figure, almost 800 MB! That’s quite a lot by any standard…

Otherwise XNView is a solid free image viewer that can handle more than 400 file formats for import and around 50 for export. It also offers a few interesting picture editing options like adding a watermark or several effects and filters.

It also offers batch convert and batch rename features and the possibility to create contact sheets easily. Overall it has a few features that Picasa 3 doesn’t have but that is not a good enough reason to replace Picasa with XNView.
