Vista Caller-ID 1.0.4 BETA Now Available!
Many new features, improvements and enhancements have found their way into the new version of Vista Caller-ID. But given the complexity and ambiguous standards in the PC industry, it is impossible to duplicate the myriad of configurations that exist in the real world.

Beta is the second letter of the Greek alphabet but it is also a way of testing the new version of Vista Caller-ID (1.0.4) under real conditions. Expect problems with betas and you won’t be surprised, but enjoy the thrill of being among the first to use a new bit of software. If you don’t like those kinds of thrills please wait until the software is “out of” beta.
