Hot on the heals of the last version, Spiceworks 3 has been released. You can see a list of the new features at http://spiceworks.com/3.0/ and download it at www.spiceworks.com

Here’s a list of some of the new features that interested me

• The interface has been cleaned up quite a bit from the previous version. There are also a couple of new features such as the ‘Glide’ function, it’s kind of like the iPod artwork browser.
• The network scanning has speed has been improved (see my test results below)
• The detection of devices has been improved.
• Exchange server monitoring. (i think this is particularity cool)
• Whole Environment event charts
• Loads of bug fixes
