XYplorer listed in Mar. 2008 "PC Magazine" article!

XYplorer (5.55 = the free vers) is listed in "Best Free Software" as one of the "157 Hot Apps for Work and Play" on page 82 of PC Magazine in their March 2008 issue! The listing says that "Multiple tabs and improved search enhance and replace the boring old Windows Explorer". So if you've found XY via this article, and need to find the right download page on XY site, here's the page you need to check out: http://www.xyplorer.com/faq.htm

Please be aware of the limitations on this version, such as NO email tech support and that it is an older version so latest features and corrections are not available in this version.

I had submitted XY to Neil Rubenking at PC Mag as suggestion for review last July.

XYplorer is "Pick of the week" on Leo Laporte's Windows Weekly podcast!

This is the first non-"release" post here, and there won't be many of these as primary intent of this blog is to keep users updated on release notes, but felt this was special enough that it deserved a mention.

XYplorer was picked by well-known media personality Leo Laporte in his podcast "Windows Weekly with Paul Thurrott: 37" as Software Pick of the week, plus this blog was linked to and mentioned also, as was myself as the submitter.

If you don't listen to the whole show, and you should weekly, XY appears at about the 1:06:00 mark for about 4:40 minutes. You can download the MP3 version from this page, if you don't subscribe via iTunes: http://www.twit.tv/ww37.
