Sage Premium Accounting (Peachtree was its’ former and more well known name) has a variety of different ways to manage cash flows and analyze numbers. Installation took about 20 minutes, but the process was easy-just make sure you disable firewall and virus protection software. Once installation is complete, you have access to all the basic accounting functions, like tracking and billing services and tracking items for sale. You even have access to more advanced functions, like comparing multiple budgets across four years and tracking serialized inventory.

The Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 7 allows the user to lay down 1-point, 2-point, 3-point, and fisheye perspective graphics. There’s also a flipbook animation tool for displaying motion sketches.

Look, I could write a review that tries to coddle those who are having a problem with this McAfee Virus Scan program, but for me, it is like finally arriving after a sea of disappointments. (I am talking about McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008-3 User Newest Version) Make sure you remove all other antivirus programs, and firewalls first before loading this McAfee Virus application. I have never seen an antivirus program that works properly with a 2nd antivirus program loaded at the same time.

Update: As Corel stated I finally was able to load Corel X8 on top of Corel X7 that I had purchased previously. However I just loaded X7 and it required me logging into my Corel account to do so. It accepted my username, and password and initialized the program. So all is well here now. It was frustrating, but I have loved Coreldraw, and the other suite of programs in the graphics suite, and will now be able to enjoy them.

Windows XP Pro is quite arguably the most reliable operating system that Microsoft has come out with yet. Additionally it comes with the option of converting it to a Windows 98SE desktop appearance, for those who don’t want to fuss with learning new instructions to get the old things done. It does so much more though.n One note of caution; do not install XP in an older machine, with older hardware.

Having to comb through multiple records and screens, and even different programs to get up to date when a customer calls is cumbersome in the older versions. I would often let the answering machine take the call and then I would return it once I was able to bring up the customers history including emails. Now it is all integrated into QuickBooks; smart move Intuit. Of course they are in to it to make money.

Ok this is about looking up your family tree, but as an adjunct they train you in utilizing online resources to look people up. How is that old spouse doing? :-) Anyhow this has to be the king of all online ancestry tools. I was surprised to know that my grandmother arrived in this country and when instead of being second generation. I was curious what part of Italy she came from.

This review is for X8 Standard which does not include the database, for that youll need the Pro version. Installation is easy, just put in the disc in your DVD drive and choose autorun.exe. (Sorry for mentioning the obvious) By default you get the Word Perfect X8 word processor, Quattro Pro X8 spreadsheet program, and Presentations for multimedia slide shows, and WordPerfect Lightning for note taking. In the original install windows they give you the option, as some separates install After Shot 2 a highly touted photo editing software, and as another installs a full suite of clipart, photos, and fonts.

WARNING: TurboTax 2007 requires Microsoft .net software. Don’t use TurboTax 2007 if you don’t want to add, or don’t have room for, .net. It seems like many programs I add (TuroTax 2007 is an example) require additional software that causes my computer to slow down more. Thus, numerous software additions cause numerous additions to computer slow down. I am mad at Intuit because I don’t want .net; I wanted only TurboTax.
