If only for the speed, lightness of being, and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best Internet browser.

MSN Messenger 7
Reviewed on May 3, 2005
A fun and feature-packed IM applet, MSN Messenger 7 is a great upgrade for version 6.2 users, but we prefer the less intrusive Yahoo Messenger 6 and ICQ 4.1.

Onfolio 2.0
Reviewed on July 1, 2005
Onfolio 2.0 is an excellent, easy-to-use RSS newsreader, but unless you need the high-end tools of its Professional Edition, we recommend Pluck instead.

Windows Live Favorites
