It’s hard to understand , but it seems to help my computer. I am buying a new computer and I’m not sure I will use it on that one

Maybe I would have liked this better if I had never used Photoshop Elements. Because I am used to PSE, I found this product difficult to use and definitely not intuitive.
It installed easily on the Mac, no problems there. Although the program has lots of capabilities, it is not as powerful as PSE. There is a learning curve that I didn’t expect with what is essentially a low-end graphics editor.

The Rosetta Stone program installed easily on my PC, and was up and running without any problems.
The lessons are easy to follow, and start you learning instantly.
I found it easy to follow the lessons and started absorbing the words and phrases with no difficulty.
I am looking forward to the more advanced lessons.
This is a much easier and more effective way to learn a language than other audio and computer programs I have tried.

The Rosetta Stone programs are wonderful for anyone who wants to self-study a language. The lessons move along well, but they also repeat words and phrases enough that you can absorb them.
I have installed Rosetta Stone software on both a PC (WinXP) and a Mac (OS-X), and have not had a problem on either system. Installation went smoothly and everything worked the first time. Installation does take a while, though, so expect to spend at least 20 or 30 minutes to get up and running.

I have been a PC gal ever since there have been PCs. When I wanted to try using a Mac, I needed to bring some of my Windows software over to the new machine. (Who wants to pay for TWO copies of Photoshop?)nnFusion installed easily on my Intel iMac, and I was able to install the Windows programs that were absolutely necessary to me. Switching between the Mac OS and Windows is simple and quick.

I had tried to learn Japanese several years ago by listening to audio tapes and then by taking a class, and found it very difficult. Rosetta Stone looked like they might have a better answer, so I gave them a try.
First of all, installation was a snap. I installed RS on a Mac running OS X Leopard, and had no problem at all. It takes a long time, though, so be prepared to wait or even walk away from the computer for a while during installation.

As has been noted by other reviewers, Crunch will not allow you to rip DVDs containing copy protection. And, like other video rendering software, it is slow and clunky. It has, however, solved a problem for me that makes it worth using.
I recently tried to sync videos to my iPhone and found that many videos that played fine on my iPod would not transfer to the iPhone. These included a couple of movies I had transferred using Handbrake Lite and several QuickTime videos I had downloaded as part of an online course.

We have used MS Office on Windows machines for years, and decided to try it on our Mac.
It installed without problems and worked just as we expected. If you are moving from a PC to a Mac and want to use familiar software, MS Office for the Mac is your choice.
