Initial Review of Microsoft's Acrylic BETA

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the room-for-improvement dept.

Geuis writes "I'll admit, I'm not a big Microsoft fan. I'm an old-time user of Adobe Photoshop, and I love nearly everything it can do. However, in the interest of science, I decided to try out the new beta for Microsoft's answer to Photoshop, Acrylic. My review is posted on my blog. Final recommendation: Stay as far away from Acrylic as you can. It needs so much development work done, it shouldn't be out of Alpha testing. If this is anywhere close to the final product they are planning to release, then Microsoft should be prepared to eat another few million in lost development funds. There's no reason you should have to eat it too."

    Did you read his other post? He talks about gmails anti phishing abilities and writes
    "It disables the URL included in the email the sender wanted me to click on. This requires me to copy/paste the URL into a browser, at which point Ebay gives me a nice 404 page not found error."
    This genious decided that, hey, if gmail writes in big red letters "THIS MAY BE A PHISHING SCHEME" (http://blog.thetechgurus.net/wp-content/images/gm ailemail.jpg)
    why not go to the link anyway.
