I know some of you may use MS Office and some may have switched to LibreOffice but I have stuck with OpenOffice.
I am excited to see that the release candidate will be here soon.

CCleaner 4.04.4197 No slim build yet so beware the Google addon’s
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
My updates always get done through a program notification:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=93544.msg968443#msg968443
That’s nice 
mine do also but if I discover the release on the website before it’s been pushed out by their servers I post it here for all to see.
It’s also a benefit posting it here so that users who don’t have CCleaner installed have an easy access link to download.

@ Bob
Do you see any issues installing IE 11 on Win 8 pro OS. How will that effect the installation of Win 8.1 Final Release.
I’ll wait 'til IE11 final is released for Win 7. Did not see that one coming. ;D
[EDIT:] That means Win 7 has gone thru four iterations of IE since introduction: IE 7- IE 11.
I didn’t install it on my Windows 8 systems. It’s designed for Windows 7.
The Windows 8.1 preview already has it and my windows 8 computers will
get it when the final release of Windows 8.1 comes out in August.
Same here, I’ll wait. 10 is just fine.
@mchain, erm Windows 7 default browser was IE8 not 7
Forgive, me, 'twas a long time ago, eh?
