   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Internet Download Manager</strong> is an excellent internet <a title="Download managers on Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/file-downloader">download accelerator</a> that will care of all your downloads from the moment you install it on your PC. <br /> <br />High speed internet connections are common these days, but that doesn’t mean we don’t sometimes need help when it comes to downloading from the net. Even if you have the fastest router in the neighborhood, take a look at Internet Download Manager (also known as <strong>Idman</strong>), because it really has <strong>a lot to offer</strong>.</p><p>You can add new downloads from the Internet Download Manager interface, but it's more usual to let it capture links. This means that every time you click on a certain file type (which can be specified through configuration options), Internet Download Manager will handle the download itself rather than letting the browser do the job. <strong>Everything is automatic</strong>: no changing from one app to another, no copying and pasting, no hassle at all.</p><p>Once Internet Download Manager captures the link, you can either download the file right away or save it for later, which can be a good alternative if you need all of your bandwidth for the moment and plan to leave the computer on during the night. Downloads can be classified into custom categories before starting them and can also be resumed if the connection is lost or broken.</p><p><strong>Speedy downloads</strong></p><p>Internet Download Manager does accelerate downloads, although it all depends on your internet connection. That is, don’t expect to download at the speed of light if you’re still using one of those old-fashioned 56K modems. Internet Download Manager achieves quite satisfying download rates by using multiple thread connections with servers.</p><p>Internet Download Manager's configuration menu displays <strong>a wide range of functions and tools</strong> devoted to handling your downloads, such as checking files for viruses with your own <a title="Antiviruses on Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/anti-virus">antivirus</a> or limiting the amount of bandwidth used by the program. There’s also support for server authentication and proxy, FTP and HTTPS servers.</p><p><b>Internet Download Manager does its job and does it well, so even if your internet connection speed is faster than usual, you should still give it a try.</b></p><p>Download <a title="Internet Download Manager 6.15.12" href="http://internet-download-manager.en.softonic.com"><strong>Internet Download Manager 6.15.12</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Mozilla Firefox 21]]></title>
   <link>http://firefox.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><!--[lead]--><strong>Mozilla Firefox</strong> is one of the World's most popular web browsers and was one of the first to break the stranglehold of Microsoft's <a title="Internet Explorer (IE)" href="http://internet-explorer-8.en.softonic.com">Internet Explorer (IE)</a> on the web browsing market.<br /><!--[/lead]--></p><p><!--[features]--><!--[subfeatures]--><h3>Features</h3><!--[/subfeatures]--></p><p>Mozilla Firefox 18 is the latest version of the popular web browser and brings with it a few key and welcome new features. First among them is the company's claim to <strong>a speedier, safer browsing experience</strong>. Tests reveal that this newest version of Mozilla Firefox is certainly <strong>quick to load</strong> even the most graphics intense pages.</p><p>Firefox 18 also now features secure connections when performing Google searches to improve privacy and there's an updated site identity indicator in the URL bar. Windows users also now get silent updates while Mac users on Lion or above can use Firefox in full-screen mode.</p><p>Mozilla Firefox's new tab layout itself is a pretty noticeable new feature. Quite similar to Google's Chrome browser, instead of seeing a blank page whenever a new tab is opened Firefox users will now be treated to icons that offer quick access to everything from bookmarks to most recently accessed and most frequently visited sites.</p><p>These <strong>icons are fully customizable</strong> in Mozilla Firefox as well. You can click and drag them to any spot you like on your name tab's page. If you're not a fan, you can also go to the grid icon on the upper right side of your browser and erase them entirely.</p><p>Something completely new to Mozilla Firefox is <strong><a title="facebook" href="http://facebook.en.softonic.com/web-apps" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a> integration</strong>. Firefox now supports Facebook's social API so you can have dedicated buttons for Facebook in your browser. Mozilla Firefox supports Facebook's Messenger within Firefox, giving users desktop notifications as well as a persistent friends list and activity feed on the right. Conversations will open up as overlays on top of whatever website you're on so you can multitask while you chat.<br /><!--[/features]--></p><p><!--[usability]--><!--[subusability]--><h3>Usability</h3><!--[/subusability]--></p><p>Mozilla Firefox really changed the way people browse the web when it originally burst onto the scene. Today Firefox remains an incredibly powerful and customizable browser, although competition from <a title="Google Chrome" href="http://google-chrome.en.softonic.com">Google Chrome</a> has given it a definite run for its money.<br /><!--[/usability]--></p><p><!--[conclusion]--><!--[subconclusion]--><h3>Conclusion</h3><!--[/subconclusion]--></p><p><strong>Mozilla Firefox 20's interface isn't much different from previous versions, but the features it has added certainly make for a nicer, more enjoyable browsing experience overall.</strong><br /><!--[/conclusion]--></p><p><!--[whatsnew]--><!--[subwhatsnew]--><h3>What's new</h3><!--[/subwhatsnew]--></p><p>For full release notes, please visit https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/20.0/releasenotes/<br /><!--[/whatsnew]--></p><p>Download <a title="Mozilla Firefox 21" href="http://firefox.en.softonic.com"><strong>Mozilla Firefox 21</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Microsoft Silverlight 5.1.20125.0]]></title>
   <link>http://microsoft-silverlight.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/65000/65257/screen-capture-1.jpg" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>Although Microsoft's Silverlight was originally conceived as a competitor to Adobe Flash, it now finds itself competing with Abobe's Web 2.0 platform, Adobe Air.</p><p>The harsh truth is, Microsoft Silverlight has already fallen considerably behind Adobe Air. In typically Microsoft style, the software giant's surely missed the boat, by aiming at a replacement for Adobe Flash when the web world was already shifting towards interactive Web 2.0 platforms such as Adobe Air.</p><p>Microsoft Silverlight is a lightweight plugin that allows you to watch Silverlight-based content in your browser. It works with most major browsers, including Firefox and Safari. There is no prompt to restart the browser after installation but I recommend you do so because the first site of Silverlight content I accessed after installation simply crashed the browser.</p><p>The most important improvements to the latest version are smoother streaming, DRM management, and an out-of browser player. The out-of browser player, however, is dependent on developers embracing it and as yet, there are few examples available. The smooth streaming feature will iron out many of the streaming programs that have plagued Microsoft Silverlight in the past. If your bandwidth drops below 3Mbps, smooth streaming will kick-in so that your video isn't affected.</p><p>Microsoft Silverlight can stream high resolution video well and supports HD-quality videos. If you want to create content for Silverlight, you'll need Expression Studio and Visual Studio. In fact, this latest release is is of particular interest to developers because it adds 60 customizable controls, new layout containers, 'deep linking' for page bookmarking, search engine optimization, and enhanced data support.</p><p>The signs are though that Microsoft has realized that the battle for web content is already being won by the much slicker and more stable Adobe Air platform and is therefore aiming Microsoft Silverlight at business users. The Silverlight homepage boasts 'Learn how Silverlight is right for your business', and that companies such as Continental Airlines have adopted Silverlight for use in their reservation system, showing that Microsoft knows which side its bread is buttered on.</p><p><b>Silverlight has probably missed the boat as far as Web 2.0 goes, although there's probably no way you can avoid it since there will always be some websites that opt to stream content with Silverlight rather than Flash.</b></p><p>Download <a title="Microsoft Silverlight 5.1.20125.0" href="http://microsoft-silverlight.en.softonic.com"><strong>Microsoft Silverlight 5.1.20125.0</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Google Chrome 26.0.1410.64]]></title>
   <link>http://google-chrome.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Google Chrome</strong> definitely deserves its position as the <a href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/browsers">browser</a> to reckon with.</p><p>Chrome's outstanding features, like its download manager, incognito browsing mode and bookmark syncing, already make it a stand out app. In <strong>version 20</strong>, it adds a more new features, as well some tweaks that make it even more user-friendly.<br /><!--#read_more#--></p><p><h3><strong>New features</strong></h3></p><p>Being able to <strong>search directly from the address bar</strong> is one of the great things about Google Chrome. Now Omnibox, Google Chrome's address bar, will offer you various suggestions as you type. Depending on how accurate it thinks its results are, Chrome may even begin to <strong>pre-load a chosen page</strong>. Popular sites like <a href="http://facebook.en.softonic.com/web-apps">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.en.softonic.com/web-apps">Twitter</a> are now sure to load almost instantaneously.</p><p>You'll now also <strong>receive warnings when Google Chrome thinks a downloading file that might contain malware</strong> or something harmful to your PC. It does this by tracing the download's originating server and comparing it to sites on its blacklist. If you're concerned about privacy when it comes to Google looking at your downloads for potential malware, you can <strong>disable this feature</strong> within your browser preferences.</p><p><h3><strong>Updates and tweaks</strong></h3></p><p>Google Chrome introduces several smaller updates designed to improve the user experience. First, Google Chrome has <strong>improved page zooming</strong> to make it more consistent with other browsers - you can now zoom up to 500%. In addition, Print Preview no longer shows up in its own tab but rather appears in a highly-configurable modal window - this improves your workflow and makes printing even quicker. Google Chrome's History tab has also undergone a redesign. It now allows users to filter out or even remove specific domains you don't want showing up there.</p><p>There's also been an update to the V8 JavaScript engine and <strong>more than a dozen security fixes</strong>. In short, these changes make browsing even quicker - and using the internet even safer.</p><p>In addition, version 20 helps with vulnerability greatly, in that it covers patches for quite a few security-related bugs. Google Chrome's latest update will consequently help make your browsing experience even safer.</p><p><h3><strong>Chrome extensions</strong></h3></p><p>Last, but not least, there are also changes for extensions - not only can you now count on a range of Google Chrome extensions that rivals (and in many cases betters) Firefox's, but those of you with a more technical bent can take advantage of improved extension APIs, so if you've got an idea, it's even easier to make it into an extension yourself.</p><p>If you're considering making the switch from old favorites like <taglink type="program" country="en" id="107191">Firefox </taglink>or <taglink type="program" country="en" id="94114">Internet Explorer</taglink>, we'd wholeheartedly recommend Google Chrome as the browser of the future!</p><p><strong>Google Chrome, Google's browser, mixes a clean, minimalist interface with a variety of powerful tools, making it a great browser.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Google Chrome 26.0.1410.64" href="http://google-chrome.en.softonic.com"><strong>Google Chrome 26.0.1410.64</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Microsoft Access 2013 15.0.4420.1017]]></title>
   <link>http://access-2013.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><!--[lead]--></p><p><strong>Microsoft Access 2013</strong> is a <a href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/project-management-software">database management</a> program included with Microsoft Office 2013. Microsoft Access 2013 has been updated with significant changes. The biggest change is the ability to easily create <strong>database-related web apps</strong> and use them through SharePoint that colleagues can access. This free trial will allow you to easily maintain a database for your business or project.<br /><!--[/lead]--></p><p><!--[features]--><!--[subfeatures]--><h3>Features</h3><!--[/subfeatures]--></p><p>The biggest new feature is the ability to <strong>create Access apps</strong> that are fully compatible with SharePoint. Microsoft Access 2013’s emphasis is on these apps as you can easily <strong>create them from the Welcome screen</strong> using templates. Online Access app templates are designed for collaboration with colleagues, but there are also offline apps for local databases.</p><p>After selecting from a <strong>variety of templates</strong> you will need to select a type of data to be tracked, such as contacts or tasks. The app will then <strong>generate the database</strong> structure, navigation, and command interface. If you’re not happy with the data displayed in the app you can edit it or add in new data types.</p><p>The focus on Access apps does have a few drawbacks for those seeking older database tools. Microsoft Access 2013 <strong>removed some Query designs</strong> such as Pivot Chart and Pivot Table, as well as the Upsizing Wizard. It is possible that these features were rarely used in the 2010 version, but it would have been better if Microsoft improved these tools instead of omitting them. You can still use Microsoft Access 2013 to create standalone databases instead of Access apps, but there are not handy tutorials and templates to guide new users. <br /><!--[/features]--></p><p><!--[usability]--><!--[subusability]--><h3>Usability</h3><!--[/subusability]--></p><p>Access 2013’s interface is similar to the 2010 version, but updated to the sleeker look of Microsoft Office 2013. Data creation is entered from either the toolbar or corresponding hotkeys. The main tools such as Table, Query, and Form all return, along with new menus to quickly list different SharePoint and Access apps. The look and feel of Access apps depend on which template you select.</p><p>Some of them are better suited for displaying timesheets or orders, but might be a poor choice for graphs and charts. All of the fields and interface will depend on the template you select. You’ll need to spend time and <strong>try different templates</strong> to find one that actually fits your project.</p><p>The app is tailored for sharing your database and apps with all of your business partners. To achieve this you’ll be <strong>constantly connected to SkyDrive</strong> in order to share and edit files. While this is useful on a large stable network, it can cause problems if you are ever disconnected from the cloud and have to edit data offline.</p><p>You can still work on local Access apps while offline, though you will have to connect to the cloud if you want to upload and transfer to a collaborative app. Thankfully, Microsoft Access 2013 has many tools and prompts to easily import data from local apps, Access 2010, or Excel into an online Access app or database.  <br /><!--[/usability]--></p><p><!--[quality]--><!--[subquality]--><h3>Quality</h3><!--[/subquality]--></p><p>The app is color coordinated to help highlight key menus and notifications. The majority of Access app templates create a sleek web app that looks <strong>very similar to Outlook.com</strong>. Microsoft Access 2013 generally functions quickly, even when working on many complex projects. Collaborative Access apps <strong>open in your default web browser</strong>, and functions in multiple browsers such as Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Chrome. Access functions Local Access apps have a similar look and feel, though you don't have to be online to use and edit them. <br /><!--[/quality]--></p><p><!--[conclusion]--><!--[subconclusion]--><h3>Conclusion</h3><!--[/subconclusion]--></p><p>Updates to Microsoft Access 2013 are great for connecting your business into a single connected database. The 2013 version removes some functionality from the 2010 version and is geared towards SkyDrive and SharePoint integration. If you are ready to move forward and leave old tools behind Microsoft Access 2013 is an excellent upgrade.            <br /><!--[/conclusion]--></p><p>Download <a title="Microsoft Access 2013 15.0.4420.1017" href="http://access-2013.en.softonic.com"><strong>Microsoft Access 2013 15.0.4420.1017</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

By default PasswordBox is compatible with popular websites such as Facebook and Twitter, but can be further <strong>modified for other web pages</strong>. This free beta version of PasswordBox will allow you to easily login to many websites without having to memorize countless passwords.<br /><!--[/lead]--></p><p><!--[features]--><!--[subfeatures]--><h3>Features</h3><!--[/subfeatures]--></p><p>PasswordBox allows you to store Passwords for many different websites. The Chrome and FireFox versions automatically allow you to enter passwords for sites such as Facebook, Hulu, LinkedIn and Amazon; the Internet Explore expands the list with financial sites such as Bank of America and J.P. Morgan. If these selections aren’t enough you can <strong>add your own</strong> favorite sites and store the corresponding passwords.</p><p>These passwords become encrypted on your own PC before they are sent to your PasswordBox account. When you visit a site registered with PasswordBox, you enter your Master Key (PasswordBox account password) to decrypt your password and log into a site. This is both convenient and a <strong>good means of preventing theft</strong>. On the downside, there is no way to recover your Master Key if lost, meaning that if you forget it you’ll be stuck out of your accounts.     <br /><!--[/features]--></p><p><!--[usability]--><!--[subusability]--><h3>Usability</h3><!--[/subusability]--></p><p>PasswordBox has a somewhat counter-intuitive installation process. You will first download and install the PasswordBox program to your computer. This won’t actually add any extensions to your browsers. Instead, this will grant you access to features on its website and the ability to create an account. You must then go to the download page and install the extension for the browser you are currently using (Internet Explorer, FireFox, or Chrome). If you use all three browsers you'll have to download and install these individually. It would be much easier if accessing PasswordBox required just one app.</p><p>PasswordBox’s layout is slightly different depending on the browser. On FireFox and Chrome PasswordBox first opens up a new page with various tabs to insert passwords, change settings, or watch video tutorials. In Internet Explorer the extension is presented as a popup, but the buttons and functionality remain the same. After inserting your passwords it may be easy to forget that PasswordBox is even activated. The only small inclination you will notice is that applicable websites will now have a <strong>green “Box” icon</strong> within the password box.<br /><!--[/usability]--></p><p><!--[quality]--><!--[subquality]--><h3>Quality</h3><!--[/subquality]--></p><p>PasswordBox’s appearance is very minimalistic and mundane. The FireFox and Chrome versions take up entire webpages which either contain unused space or unnecessarily large text. The Internet Explorer version is <strong>much more compact</strong> and easier to navigate, making it superior to the other two versions. Passwords appear as soon as you enter a website and logins activate smoothly without confirmations (You can set optional prompts via the settings menu). If you are ever confused by the interface, PasswordBox has a detailed help section and a gallery of <strong>in-depth tutorial videos</strong>. <br /><!--[/quality]--></p><p><!--[conclusion]--><!--[subconclusion]--><h3>Conclusion</h3><!--[/subconclusion]--></p><p>PasswordBox is an excellent means of keeping all of your passwords in one place. Because your passwords are encrypted you won’t have to worry about online theft. Just be sure to remember your Master Key or you could be permanently locked out. Though the installation process is odd and confusing, once PasswordBox is set up it is easily accessible from Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Chrome. If you have too many passwords to keep track of PasswordBox is a great extension to have.  <br /><!--[/conclusion]--></p><p>Download <a title="PasswordBox 1.3.1.308" href="http://passwordbox.en.softonic.com"><strong>PasswordBox 1.3.1.308</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

Besides voice chats, Skype Portable also includes the standard IM functionalities (written conversations, emoticons, user avatars and so on) and also lets you have group video conferences.</p><p>These video calls are precisely the main focus on Skype Portable's latest version. The program's interface has been completely redesigned with <strong>video conferences</strong> on mind. This means Skype Portable has been made wider so that video fits in perfectly with your written chat, your contact list and a toolbar to manage conversation. The new interface in Skype Portable is transformed when you make a call, getting rid of all the clutter, so you just see the video images, and controls.</p><p>The sound quality in Skype Portable during our testing was perfect: loud and clear. Video sometimes appeared a bit pixelated, but nothing we couldn't really deal with. There was also one nice detail, and that's the ability to see your own video image built-in on your contact's video, and the option to take a snapshot of your own image.</p><p>The other major development in Skype Portable is <strong>Facebook integration</strong>. This is a pretty big thing, as not only does it give you your news feed in the app - anyone can do that - but adds call and SMS buttons to any of your friends who share their contact numbers. If you’ve paid for Skype minutes, you can call your Facebook friends, and if they’re also signed in to Skype Portable you can call them for free. One of the best new features is the automatic call recovery - drop a call and it’s put in pause. Restarting it is now really easy.</p><p><strong>Skype Portable is just like the desktop version: complete interface overhaul that now focuses more on video chats; some handy improvements to the way you communicate online and no installation required!</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Skype Portable 6.3.0.105" href="http://skype-portable.en.softonic.com"><strong>Skype Portable 6.3.0.105</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Safari 5.1.7]]></title>
   <link>http://safari.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><!--[lead]--><br />Apple was wildly criticized when it launched <strong>Safari for Windows</strong>. That first version was so unstable and buggy it didn't cause the best of impressions.</p><p>Things have changed a lot since then however and Safari 5 sees some exciting introductions such as a new <strong>Reader</strong> icon for easier reading in one page, faster page load times and vastly improved HTML5 support. All of the previous features such as tabs on top for easier page management and <strong>Cover Flow</strong> to flip through your bookmarked sites iTunes style have been retained too.<br /><!--[/lead]--></p><p><!--[features]--><!--[subfeatures]--><h3>Features</h3><!--[/subfeatures]--><br />In the previous version of Safari, Apple introduced <strong>Top Sites</strong> which is one of the most impressive aspects of Safari. It shows a panoramic thumbnail view of your most visited sites in one screen. Just click on the window you want to visit that site. This certainly looks cool, although its day-to-day usefulness is questionable. It is a good way of tracking which sites you visit most frequently though and you can lock your favorite sites to one single position so that you'll always know where it is when you open Safari. Sites with a star in the corner denote those with new content.</p><p>Meanwhile <strong>Cover Flow</strong> lets you browse through your bookmarks presenting full page views of the sites as they looked the last time you browsed them. The principle is based on flipping through albums in iTunes. Again, this looks cool although usually, I don't really care what the site looked like the last time I visited it - I just want to get there as quickly as possible. What I do like is the History Search - just type a word and Safari throws up every single page it has cached with that word on - very useful when you can't remember where the hell you saw the name of that person or game.</p><p>Other handy features in Safari include <strong>Tabs on Top</strong> which makes it a little easier to access and open your tabs at the very top of Safari. You can even drag and drop tabs into another Safari window.<br /><!--[/features]--></p><p><!--[usability]--><!--[subusability]--><h3>Usability</h3><!--[/subusability]--><br />In this latest version, the most notable feature is the new <strong>Reader</strong> which allows you to view all of your content on one page although there is no way to change the font. There's also a new Bing search option for Safari's search field, in addition to Google and Yahoo! <strong>HTML5 support has been improved</strong> meaning you can now view HTML5 video in full screen plus HTML5 Geolocation features are now available to Safari users. Navigating in Safari has also been made much easier due to a <strong>more predictive URL bar</strong> which actually searches cached webpages for keywords and archiving of exactly when you viewed certain pages is more precise and refined.<br /><!--[/usability]--></p><p><!--[quality]--><!--[subquality]--><h3>Quality</h3><!--[/subquality]--><br />Speed has always been of the essence in Safari and Apple have stepped up the pace with an enhanced <strong>Nitro engine</strong> which it claims executes Javascript 25% faster than the last version. It's certainly damn quick and I'm mighty impressed at how fast it's loading my favorite sites such as YouTube and the BBC (and Softonic of course!).</p><p>In addition to these changes, all the standard features in Safari remain. By clicking on the RSS tag in the URL bar, you can get a view of all the posts in a feed, which you can present chronologically and get a detailed or a title view. There will be inevitably some programs and plugins - such as 1Password - that don't work with this new version of Safari but these issues will quickly be ironed out by the developers of respective software.<br /><!--[/quality]--></p><p><!--[conclusion]--><!--[subconclusion]--><h3>Conclusion</h3><!--[/subconclusion]--><br /><strong>I love the look and speed of Safari but the lack of plugins available compared to Firefox and general instability issues mean that it's still going to be a while before Apple can lure me over to their browser.</strong><br /><!--[/conclusion]--></p><p>Download <a title="Safari 5.1.7" href="http://safari.en.softonic.com"><strong>Safari 5.1.7</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

All that money that goes into defense spending finally produced something useful for the average citizen (that and the Internet of course).</p><p>I've got a pretty dodgy sense of direction and my map-reading skills are about as useful as a bat without sonar. Now, I just tap in a postcode and house number and the TomTom does the rest. The one annoying thing with TomToms is that you have to keep up with the latest changes to speed cameras and routes. To do this, you'll need a subscription to TomTom.com but TomTom Home can make things a bit smoother.</p><p>TomTom Home is the official update tool for TomTom.com, featuring many useful things such as the ability to easily install new maps and services, restore and backup your TomTom, receive free traffic alerts, and even use services that normally require a wireless data connection. Everything is easy to follow courtesy of the program's helpful setup wizards. Of course, to update the speed cameras, you'll need a subscription but there are plenty of other services that don't such as Points of Interest and Installation of Voices.</p><p><strong>TomTom Home is an essential tool for any TomTom.com subscriber who needs to manage their device or make sure that their speed camera map is updated.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="TomTom Home 2.9.4.0" href="http://tomtom-home.en.softonic.com"><strong>TomTom Home 2.9.4.0</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

In fact, <strong>the average user is unlikely to notice anything difference</strong> - only the Skype administrator will really see how it differs.</p><p>Skype for Business is easy to install, as it comes in an MSI file which is perfect for an extended number of computers. Above all, it offers more flexibility network administrators. From the <strong>Skype Manager</strong> <a title="" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.skype.com/intl/en/business/skype-manager/">homepage</a>, you'll be able to log into your company account and manage the service from there. Employees using the service are known as <strong>Members</strong>, and they'll be able to join your network with new or existing Skype accounts.</p><p>Some of these features, for example, include <strong>allocation of credit</strong>, so your employees can call non-Skype numbers, or the disabling of calls to personal numbers. You can pay by a variety of methods, and can enable or disable auto-recharge. Once you've purchased credit, you can set about <strong>assigning features</strong> to different members. These features include call forwarding, subscriptions, voicemail and online numbers.</p><p>When it comes to the everyday basics of using Skype, you'll find that Skype for Business has all of the same features as the standard version.
