The year 2008 had been quite active for WinMatrix. WinMatrix users contributed enthusiastically by posting on the forums, resulting we saw superb releases, went through lots of useful guides and heard so many unexpected news. After inspecting all the forums here I've listed the 100 most popular WinMatrix threads of the year 2008. The popular threads has been chosen on the basis of the number of views.

The monthly desktop threads and some other threads which aren't worth reading again have been excluded from this list.
Some of the threads have been closed so that they won't be bumped up.

Yay! :D
Two of my posts made it into the Top 100 (Windows Vista: Update to stop pirates and The Product (RED) Items (I was told that after tipandtrick got the items, we were the first people to report the release)

I just re-read the articles and am suprised how popular they were, but the Pirate update did bring some worrying conclusions, and I was glad I stopped the talk before it went any further.

Wow, I feel so good now!
Shame none of my Windows Update posts go to the news lists, but reading the dark grey writing, I now understand :P but I have glad they have became useful for Winmatrix, the only place to get all the Windows Update info :D

Happy New Year to all, and roll on 2009

Jatin,
Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 on PC didn't make the list. That thread blew up very quickly! I didn't even expect for it to get as big as it did. 59995 views and 179 replies.

Haha, I remember that thread! It started with a lot of caution not to mention the piracy and how to get it, then suddenly all hell broke loose and it became Hackingtosh Tech Support... :P
