Dragon Dictate for Mac 4.0 is great for those looking to do a lot of dictation from their Mac. The Dragon software works just a bit better than the on-board software already provided in the Mac OS.
Dragon is something I’ll be using over and over again.

The software, after you get it installed, runs well as long as you have a connection to a network. However, installation was difficult, and took four attempts and lots of wasted time waiting for the install to finish. Generally. I don’t care for software subscriptions, and this Office 365 Personal is no exception. Give me a good old fashioned disk any day.
I was unwilling to uninstall my current version of Office on our main PC in order to install Office 365 Personal, and since it is virtually impossible to run two versions of Office on the same computer without causing issues, I decided to install the software on our other, less frequently used, desktop.

Pinnacle Studio 17 Plus is an easy to use program that’s great for those who have a bit of experience with video editing software, but users don’t have to be an expert to get good results. Its fairly easy to learn and has a lot of great features. Installation was easy as well, and ran with no difficulties, although it took about 20 minutes to complete.
I was most interested in the Live Screen Capture feature, but it was a bit difficult to find.

Perhaps the color scheme is not the best, but really, with all of the other features, the color scheme doesn’t matter all that much (and besides, I believe there is a patch to fix that now). The color scheme is not why I wanted to try this software. I wanted to try the software for its accounting capabilities and organizational features. I really like the organizational properties of Quickbooks Premier 2013, and the fact that it is fairly easy to set up and not too difficult to get started learning and inputting information.

Corel Photo and Video Pro X4 Ultimate Bundle is a good all-around software bundle for those looking to do both video and photo editing. The bundle includes some impressive features, such as video stabilization, zoom optimization, animation effects, filters and more.
In general, the software performs well, delivering good speed and performance with both video and photo editing, but the real beauty of the software is the video editing features list and the easy connection to social media output (Facebook, YouTube, etc.

Norton 360 Multi-Device is an easy to use solution for protecting yourself and your devices. The cloud-based deployment option makes installation a breeze. And, Norton 360 Multi-Device doesn’t just protect from viruses, it also detects phishing, social networking threats, scams, malicious websites and identity theft! That last one is a biggie, since cases of identity theft are on the rise. It even helps with unwanted calls and mobile spam, plus gives you added piece of mind that your data is protected if your device is ever lost or stolen.

Though MapPoint can be used for general mapping and directions, it is not really meant for that. It is a business application first and foremost. It is best suited for sales type companies and positions. So for example, you buy a database of all hospitals in the USA and all of their statistics. You can then visually see all hospitals of a certain size or how much revenue if any you have sold there so far.

Finally, a security product geared towards the standard home user. It is not as user friendly as it should be for the home user, but pretty darn close. I am an independent developer and have been using the Beta and now the Live version on 4 different machines. So I have been able to see how well this performs. I have purposefully inflicted myself with various viruses and worms and it blocked them all with the exception of one.
