System requirements
OS Required: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 SP6a or later, Microsoft Windows 2000 SP3 or later, Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP1 or later, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP1 or later
Advantages: Good sound output, extensive control over style and function, web integration, quite stable and doesn't cost a penny Disadvantages: slow and a little cumbersome, large download
...In the face of competition from the likes of Winamp and Sonique, Microsoft release Windows Media Player 7, but is it good enough to stem the tide of desertion?
Catchy name aside, it's actually pretty good, and certainly a great improvement on WMP6, which was outdated and lacked style.
Media Player 7's style can be whatever you want it to be, because there's quite a large choice of designer skins downloadable from Microsoft's website. The standard player is cleanly designed, with well placed, stylised buttons on a brushed-metal stylee exterior.

Advantages: Very professional, unlimited possibilties Disadvantages: Tricky to use and learn

The set contains Flash MX 2004, Dreamweaver MX 2004, Fireworks MX 2004 and Freehand MXa. I advise before you buy this product you try the sample version which allows you to use the software for 30 days, this can be downloaded from the macromedia web site or can be obtained from most web development magazines on the cover CD’s.
Here is a simple run down of each of the individual pieces of software in the set.
Flash MX 2004 is not just for website design, I have created simple media players and animations on it as well. However it is also possible...

After the dramatic improvement that was fifa 2003, the gaming community had high hopes for this update. Initially, I thought this had been achieved, but faults began to show.
