PCWorld Reviewers' Favorite Downloads: May 2010In PCWorld Downloads, our reviewers sometimes find fascinating new files...and sometimes develop a fresh appreciation for the tried-and-true. This May, both scenarios played out. We ran across handy little utilities for system tray use and Office improvements. We reviewed tools for DVD-ripping, energy conservation, general tweaks, and more. And with all that work done, we felt fine about relaxing with a physics-based desktop toy and a classic game.
