Yaaaahooooo.... Finally I think Digit fulfills every demand of the user, having asked for penetration testing got Backtrack 5 r2
Asked for virualization got a whole fasttrack will surely buy this now. As of now have collected enough that I can purchase Rs.200 mag too. Finally I think this is a worth content for what I had been asking for about two months from now.... Yes, Yes, Yes.. Yes. Exited to get my hands on magazine will surely write a review then.

Regarding DVDs i think a worth content for any developer is given... In all a great coverstory for data recovery. Thank you team digit..:)

We did want to carry the Windows 8 CP, unfortunately it is not free to distribute :-( and we did not get permission to bundle it with our DVD. Sorry guys. We're still trying to get it though so keep your fingers crossed. :D

Lots of useful contents.

One thing I would like to know. Which software do you use for authoring your DVDs supplied with the mag? If the question is not appropriate for this thread kindly tranfer it to other thread where I can get the answer.

Anyway, thanks for recovery tools in the April issue.

I have read about half the magazine. I have regained the faith in you to provide good content in your mag. Though i think it is a bit more targeted towards beginners. Most of things you say are like what everybody knows but its OK considering the fact there are many beginners. Overall i am satisfied.
Few months back you did a AV comparison. I didn't like it but i don't remember the reasons.This months test seem to be more compressive. Though you missed the false positive part. I would also wanted you to compare NIS rather than 360.
Your DVD content seems better. Thanx for Backtrack and the essential softwares.

Just bought the issue :)

The first page of the magazine seems to another one of those epics :D

The "save-protect-recover-enhance" feature is very nice. There are many articles which will be of great use for me :)

The mobo test is a much needed one after such long time. Very much needed. The Mass Effect 3 review is also nice.

The Blackberry Playbook price mentioned at page 106 (Rs.19990) way high. Its available for lot lesser here- Flipkart: Blackberry Playbook: Tablet

Haaa..........many of the security suites have been given via small "online" installer like norton is w/o definitions, mcafee,quickheal and bitdefender is AV not security suite........good "Jugaad" i must say.

really nice issue, the main article was really good and interesting to read. digit had recently done an antivirus comparision so i didnt read it all. it was nice that you included many models in mobiles and tablet price list rather than just 4/5 models in previous issues. thumps up for this issue.... :)

well.. as always the Issue is Good. The content, good..:-D
really very good..:-D
even DVDs.. but...:|
I was very much Dissappointed with the security suites..:cry:
some of them wer small setups with online Installation..:evil:
some, didnt work, faulty setups..:hissyfit: eg ESET nod..:x
BitDefender.. instead of Total Security, U gave Antivirus ver.:banghead:
Last year's Sec Suites (Digit April 2011) wer very much better n satisfying.:rolleyes:
