With three million downloads without advertising, the software was considered a hit. However, with their new beta version, Soluto has decided to go web based and change focus to what their user base was mainly using the software for. It turns out the typical user of Soluto were mainly doing repairs for other people's computers, namely friends and family. </p><p>The new version will be web based and can do all of the functions of the old install based version remotely. Users will be able to see non-responsive apps, install apps or browsers, monitor system vitals, etc. </p><p>If you are ever called on by a friend or family member for CTO duties, you may want to take a look at Soluto. </p>
