Just because it says Deluxe does not mean that it includes state anymore. TurboTax could have done a better job at making their packaging differentiated for ones with and without a state return. It was my mistake to assume. TurboTax as a brand has always been reliable for me. There have been many years in the past where I have not had a tax professional and I have used their software to do my returns.

We get Kaspersky because we don’t like Norton at all. We have used this for 2 straight years and have had no problems with viruses. We only had one problem with playing flash games on Facebook where we had to turn off the anti-banner in order for some of the flash games to work (like Farmville, Frontierville). The installation was easy and was not too hard for an amateur like me.

Doing genealogy research will consume you and this product makes it very easy for you to spend your money and time on Ancestry.com! You get a 30 day free trial but it is never enough time. I purchased extra months until my husband had to squash my new obsession on filling the family tree. I know that this is a vehicle to get people to spend $20 or more a month on the website.

I got this with the intention of doing more, but so far I have only used it for photo editing and enhancement. It seems to do the job I want it to do. I am a basic user not looking for anything fancy so this will do the job. I will eventually try the Draw part of this suite to create things for classroom use. It comes with video tutorials that I will watch before trying anything else.

Corel’s WordPerfect Office X6 program suite provides a full-featured set of applications for all your office computing needs. It is generally not hard to install, though some systems may have programs installed that interfere, so it’s best to close out everything else that is running before starting the installation. If you have X5 and are satisfied then there’s not much reason to upgrade - Winzip, the program that began as popular shareware, is an addition to X6 that most people won’t really need.

The latest Roxio software is designed as a full suite of multimedia creating and burning applications. This is a major evolution from Roxio’s roots as a CD/DVD burning software. By making the software so comprehensive Roxio has made it much more memory intensive and time consuming to install and explore. It’s got a lot of useful resources for editing video (works with HD and 3D video) and audio and converting between formats, so if you do a lot of multimedia editing this is helpful, but if you just need something to burn or rip CDs, DVDs, or Blu-Ray then this software is unnecessary given the simpler alternatives that are available.

Excellent Tax Preparation software. I have been using it for years and never had any major issues with it and never got audited. I think it is the best tax preparation software out there. Yes you can get cheaper software, but you get what you pay for.

This a typical Quicken product. If you don’t have online-backup you will have to go through a lot of hassle restoring your data. Fortunately I have online backup from Quicken and it automatically imported all my data error free, even my preferences settings. Another thing with Quicken products is they have almost nonexistant technical support so you are pretty much on your own, but I have had very litle problems needing technical support.

I am rating this 4 stars because of the support and installation issues I had. Like any Intuit software there is almost no support and it is a real pain getting it installed and working right for the first time. But it is the best software of this type out there for the money. It took me three hours of trial and error to get it to work right after I installed it.
