I’ve used Pinnacle software for years for light editing, and this seems to be a stable release with added features (which I probably won’t use). I have a moderately powered computer and everything seems to work well.
Pros:n-Easy installationn-Stablen-Not too taxing of computer’s power

Straightforward simple and thorough program. There are no frills, no games and no music. It guides you through exercises very well, it asks you after each segment if you want to practice more or if you want to go forward. There are quizzes to check your progress that give you your typing speed and accuracy rate.nThe program looks very old fashioned. The lessons are voiced by a real person, but they dictate your exercises using Windows Anna voice - very metallic robotic voice with some sounds that are hard to understand, real people just do not talk like that.

I had Quicken 2011 and 2012, and I do not see much difference. It still messes up some transactions. When I transfer money from one account to another at the same bank, Quicken cannot recognize it as the same transaction. If the bank gives more then one line of text for the transaction, Quicken shows it as 2 or 3 different transactions with second and third being $0.nIt still works, and still useful, though.

Really nice package of programs, works very well, and quite easy to learn how to use it. I had to contact customer service with installation help, and they responded reasonably fast. There was a hardcover book with feature descriptions included.nIt is very versatile, you can do so much with the suite, from professional applications to kid’s projects to making study materials for the classroom to web site creation and so much more.

When I first opened the program, I was very very confused since it didn’t look anything like Microsoft Office I used for years. After the initial shock, I realized that it can do about the same thing, and do it right. I really like to have more control about what I am doing, and this is what it is all about. It is less intuitive at the first sight, but being in control seems to be more important to me.

I didn’t really see any difference with the 2011 version, it has exactly the same bugs and quirks. It consistently does not download transactions from two of my banks on the first try, the second try is almost always working, so I do not understand what might be the problem. It always downloads a Discover card transaction as three separate transactions with two of them $0.00. If your Qiucken has not expired, there is no need to buy the new version as it didn’t get any better.

Astonishing piece of software, and almost perfect.
I have used photoshop every day for 14 years for both creating graphics and for doing post production on photographs. So many times I have seen work produced by other photographers that has extra elements added in post production that has a sci-fi or fantasy feel to the image. I never knew how this was accomplished.
Corel Painter 2015 not only allows me to accomplish this, but also to create a completely new style for my work.

I had installed Office365 on my laptop and wasn’t happy with the lag time when it saved docs every five minutes in Word. While you might say to switch the saving times, that doesn’t work for me – I need to save my writing/editing on an ongoing basis.
Enter Office 2016, which now comes in a box as a single card with a key.
I uninstalled 365 (didn’t get reimbursed for the months I didn’t use, because I bought a yearly plan) and installed this.

My review is written based on my knowledge and experience with other programs like Sony Vegas, and Adobe Premiere. As such, I will be using it without the instructions (until I get stuck) in order to compare it to my experience with industry standard applications.
If you are familiar with other video editing tools, you will find that most elements are in traditional locations, such as the timeline, project assets and preview pane.

This gets 4 stars because of my particular exposure to much more expensive products, but if this was my first editing program, it would get 5 stars.
I have experience with a few products, including Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere, so this review is done with those products in mind.
Once installed, the first task I tried was to create a photo slideshow using one of the styles provided in the quick editor.
