For those that just can't seem to figure it out, [BitLet][1] offers a dead-simple method of downloading torrent files directly from your browser -- no external programs or browser add-ons needed. - -Feed BitLet the URL of a .torrent file and it will download the file using a web-based interface that opens in a pop-up window. The interface will ask where you'd like to save the file and then the download starts. - -You'll be able to monitor speeds (which were quite good in my testing) and progress, though there's no peer data or any in-depth information. - -It's no replacement for a desktop-based client if you're serious about your torrents, but if you don't want to explain the bittorrent process to your clueless co-worker, sending them a BitLet URL can spare you the pain. It would also be handy for work environments where there might not be a bittorrent client installed. - -BitLet does require that you have the latest Java VM browser plug-in installed on your system, but Vista and OS X ship with everything you'll need. Depending on the last time you updated XP you may need to grab the [latest version of the Java VM plug-in][4]. - -BitLet even includes a [very nice code generator][3] for making links which you can then e-mail or post on your site for others to download.

The new update, Firefox 2.0.0.6 comes just two weeks after the last security update. - -Firefox 2.0.0.6 fixes a critical vulnerability that would cause the browser to pass on unescaped URIs to external programs, which opened up all sorts of nasty attacks, including a means for hackers to install malware on Windows simply by offering a specially crafted link. - -The new update also addresses a less serious vulnerability involving Firefox add-ons. - -The update can be [downloaded from the Mozilla servers][1].

Microsoft Works v9, the red-headed stepchild of Microsoft Office, is a free, ad supported office package offering word processing, spreadsheet and slideshow (Powerpoint) functionality. - -Microsoft Works 9 may also someday be available as a Microsoft-hosted low-end productivity service, possibly through the company's Live services, which would put it head-to-head with Google Docs & Spreadsheets and Zoho. But for the moment, Works 9 will be limited to the desktop. - -Regrettably, although there are some support documents online and a few torrents on Pirate Bay, there doesn't seem to be a way to download Works 9 from the Microsoft site. - -Although I'll reserve judgment until Works is available, here's some interesting tidbits from the [Microsoft support site][2]: - -* The OOXML file formats from Office 2007 will be supported (regrettably so will those archaic Works formats, which could confuse some users) - -* XP 32-bit and 64-bit are both supported, but only the 32-bit version of Vista will work, as is the case with several other recent releases from Microsoft. - -* The [minimum system requirements][3] might raise a few eyebrows. Not the XP version, which requires just 256MB of memory, but you the Vista version apparently needs 1GB in Vista Basic and a massive 1.5GB for Vista Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate. And remember, that's the *mimimum*, not the recommended amount of RAM. That should put Firefox's memory usage in perspective. - -For those that have forgotten about Microsoft Works, it includes an address book, calendar, database, dictionary, PowerPoint Viewer, basic Word, and some templates. Works began life as a Mac application way back in 1985. - -In many respects Works is a stripped down version of the full-fledged Office suite, and has primarily continued its life as a default install on low-end PCs, though many manufacturer's have started following Microsoft's recommendation of pre-installing an Office demo instead. - -We'll be sure to update this post as soon as there's a download link available. - -[via [ZDNet][1]] - -[1]: http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=604 -[2]: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/ph/12025?cid=C_67306 -[3]: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939451/en-us
