I have been a beta tester for awhile now and all I can say is where is the ‘ next generation ’ os ? Yes it looks nice but thats just window dressing…. The 4 flavors option is dumb. the best way to upgrade is to buy a new hard drive and do a separate install - do not buy the ‘ upgrade ’ version it will kill your XP license!

First off if you use avchd (.mts) files then it is worth the upgrade with the hd plugin. Why ? Well it will actually convert your .mts files to mp4,psp,appletv, etc… straight from the raw .mts file which up to know was a total pain because you need imovieHD08 to read the avchd file then pull off the huge .mov file and then convert…nTost9 will see the .mts file and work with it… Also the Toast Video Player will PLAY the .

I have been using toast 7 and was hoping toast 8 would offer more for the upgrade price than it does…. The divx encoder is still not the latest version that support multi-core processors - major bummernnIf your a new user then toast is by all means worth it… but if your an upgrader welllllll toast 7 is just fine….. this should have been a 15 dollar upgrade because its just not that much more powerful….

Toast 10 is pretty much like Toast 9 , but the EXTRAS in Toast 10 like LightZone make the PRO version a buy ! Lightzone is AWESOME , it will take your photos and make them gorgeous ! SoundSoap is great for cleaning audio, and theres more! These extras would cost way more than the product package…. Also , if you alreasy own toast go to roxio’s site and click the upgrade , its a little cheaper than the stand alone product.

I have been using TaxCut/H&R Block for at least 10 years. It is very straight forward. Last year I had a unique problem entering some new data for a farm rental property and called they Tech Support group who were very helpful and sorted out the situation.

I have used TaxCut for at least 10 years. This year’s H&R Block version seems a smooth transition from the last couple years. I have not done my taxes yet, so I have not encountered any problems. If I do I will return and update this review. I did notice in the reviews that some people had troubles in downloading the state edition (VA in my case). I had no problem downloading and installing the VA program.

Fine….not much difference from earlier versions.

Works very well with none of the problems of the competitor.l

I have used this for many years. It is great.

This is the fourth year for using Norton 360. I like the extra elements….such as monitoring start up programs….besides the firewall and antivirus.
