The Firefox faithful might be interested to know Mozilla recently updated its popular Web browser to version Firefox 3 Beta 1. Though this beta version won't wow anyone with a radical new interface or attention-grabbing features, it does create a powerful, stable platform for developers of Web applications. The PC Magazine software team can give you a sneak peek at Firefox 3 Beta 1 in this detailed preview.
Also, Microsoft decided to go toe-to-toe with sites like eVite and MyPunchBowl in the online party-organizing business with its newly released Windows Live Events. This offspring of Windows Live Spaces lets you easily create and send invitations with a deep level of customization.
Live Events has an edge over similar services because of its party recap features. The idea is that you use the service to relive the occasion, whether by sharing photos or discussing who hooked up with whom on forums on the event's site. Get the full scoop on Windows Live Events from the PC Magazine software team in this in-depth review.
