Picked up this protection for my mother’s PC. Some features were usuable on my Mac, which I thought was a cool bonus. It’s a user friendly security set up. I don’t think I’m truly qualified to comment on the security it provides, but so far, so good. :)

It’s really hard to get any quantity of work down without Microsoft Office. And this product, aside from all it’s normal MS Office glory, has a nifty Office Cloud you can work from—even if you’re stuck on a borrowed PC or Mac. Sharing documents or working on them from multiple places is a breeze. However, MS Office, I have somewhat against you! This thing was a bear to install on my Windows 8 PC.

This software is simple to install, and it seems to work well. If I can install something, anyone can. I especially like that this works on multiple devices. I am more relaxed about getting work done in the coffee shop when I have a product like this installed.

I have been using TaxCut for many years and this year (with a new title) continues my personal tradition of getting my taxes done early and accurately. There was only one year (about 7 or 8 years ago) that I used something else because TaxCut was terrible. All the other years, it has been the best. A few years I had to use accountants because of the complexity of my taxes for those years.

I really like the Norton 360 Multi-Device software. I’ve installed it on my Windows 8 desktop, Android cell phone, and 2 Windows 7 laptops and I have yet to have an issue with the software. The interface is very user friendly and protects really well. The protection on my Android device is pretty basic but I’ll take what I can get. Norton 360 seems to protect really well. Since I’ve installed the software, it has protected me against two very serious threats.

I’m really finding PowerDirector13 too be really user friendly. I’ve been using Corel Video Studio Pro X5 and Final Cut Pro for bigger projects. PowerDirector 13 has more options than Corel Video Studio. It’s runs very smoothly and has the fastest rendering out of all my video editors. It also uploads the quickest to You Tube. I haven’t had any issues with it so far. I also think it depends on how much RAM you have.

I don’t even know where to begin with this software. Let me start off by saying that it’s not very user friendly. There is a lot bloatware that comes along with it. I was really disappointed at the fact that I kept getting errors when trying to upload to You Tube. What is the point of having the option incorporated if you can’t even use. I did finally get a video uploaded but it took forever.

This won’t be a very technical review because there are many here that have gone into great details about the technical specifications. My purpose for choosing this software was to be able to watch my DVDs when traveling in a much better program then what’s installed on my laptop. I love the user interface because it’s very user friendly. I didn’t have any issues with installation. I haven’t gone through every single feature but the software works perfectly for what I’m using it for.

I’ve been trying to use this software for over a month to learn the features so I could write out a well thought out review. I have finally given up on it for the time being. I mostly use Corel VideoStudio and just upgraded to their latest software because Pinnacle Studio makes it difficult to complete the simplest of tasks! It’s slow and keeps freezing up on me. I was trying to edit a video for YouTube and had a difficult time not because I’m not tech savvy but because this software isn’t user friendly.

Wow. This program is similar to what professional designers, renovators, and landscapers use. It’s not for the faint of heart though. You’re going to need a powerful PC. It says it’s okay for XP and Vista, but I wouldn’t want to run anything other than Windows 7 on it. Also, it takes up 6 GB of disk space and needs 2 GB of memory. I suggest more. You’re probably going to be frustrated if you try to run this on an older PC.
