Ares Lite a ghost from the past
Once upon a time rumor had it that the only way to get a version of Ares without it being bundled with various nasty pieces of malware was to get Ares Lite. Part of the reason this came about was through some rather unscrupulous entrepreneurs who decided to bundle Ares with malware in order to make a little extra cash. The ‘Lite’ bit of Ares Lite, the punters decided, was related to the lack of ‘bundled’ software.
This assertion is simply not true and many of the contemporaries of Ares Lite –excellent applications like Ares Ultra, Ares Vista and others – are superior in so many ways to the original applications. Partly this is just technology getting better, partly it’s experience telling the makers how to do these things correctly.
While Ares Lite was very good application in its day (and it did a fantastic job when it was released), there is simply no need for a cut-down version of the Ares software. Ares Lite is Ares Galaxy but without the frills, taking up less in computer resources. Modern versions of Ares take up so little in the way of resources compared to a modern computer’s capacity that this ‘Lite’ness is unnecessary.
