First of all you must realize this product is ONLY for Apple TV, iPod and iPhone - nothing else. I’m not sure if that’s clear in the description.nIt does take a whole variety of input file formats ranging from DVD movies (.vob files) to all mpeg formats to .avi, divx, etc. In that regard it’s not bad. Unless you factor in that the DVD movie must have no copyright protection. In other words, you can’t crunch your original DVD movie (even if you purchased it legally) - you would have to first use some other software to remove copyright protection, and only then can you work with this software to crunch it.

For those unaware, the Rosetta stone philosophy is to learn a language the way a baby learns. No grammar, no lessons, etc. Just immerse the student in the language the way a baby is immersed. To be honest, I wasn’t aware of that philosophy when I decided to try this out. Also, I had some basic French lessons in school and I knew some of the grammar, etc. So this was really new to me.

I have had no success installing this on my home PC which is a little better than the stated minimum requirements. I have a 1.8GHz Pentium processor with 512MB of RAM, a 200GB hard drive with 100GB available. Still I couldn’t install on my PC. It would just hang during the installation process.nI’m now waiting to get a better PC before I can really try this out, but I’m already disappointed!

They do a good job of showing you pictures many times and making you pronounce the word.

Like some other reviewers, I too had a terrible experience with installation. I just couldn’t install on my WinXP Home Edition PC. It would just hang. I finally installed on another PC at work (WinXP Professional), and it installed okay - took about 20 mins, but it worked.nThe product itself is not bad - I was very curious about the recording of music from the PC sound card. It worked quite well, but, as can be expected, the sound quality is not excellent.

This year I switched to this software and liked some things better than TurboTax, but also had some issues with it. I’ve used TurboTax for years and like other users, was not happy when I started having to buy the much more expensive version in order to include my home business information, but would have used it again anyway until I read early TT reviews complaining of the software causing PC crashes.

I knew I needed to plan and have a will but kept putting it off. This product got me started and greatly reduced legal fees. I knew I wanted a living trust and wanted a lawyer involved but dreaded the expense. By using this product to become informed about all the questions and forms, I was able to prepare my will and a framework for the trust which I can now take to a lawyer for verification and filing for a fraction of the cost of going in cold.

Works great. I was a 360 user but since I wasn’t using the backup feature, switched to this less expensive version. I had no trouble downloading the product even with questionable internet connectivity out here in the sticks. I have it installed on three Windows 7 computers and all is well.
