finally they got one right

so far so good needs work as in all new os’s but that will come

Since it is sold as a Quicken product, I expected to see a decent one. However, the program is extremely simplistic. It treats the users as 3rd grade kids. The user interface is simplistic, the interview is simplistic, and the outcome of the document it creates is simplistic. You can’t use it in the real business settings. It comes with a few reference books that might be useful occasionally, but the users are not buying this for books.

AVG has been my favorite free antivirus software, and later paid version of it. But the new versions became an annoyance because it pops up every now and then rather than staying in the background quietly doing its job. It also began to block some legitimate functions of my other software. AVG would have been still the best if Microsoft didn’t release their latest Windows Security Essential for free. It works quietly in the background so it doesn’t disrupt my work.

I used Corel VideoStudio Pro before I move on to Adobe Creative Cloud and have been using Premiere Pro. Sometimes, I feel the Premiere Pro is overkill for some quick and small projects that are intended for Internet upload only, such as on YouTube. In that case Pinnacale Studio 17 serves the purpose well. Considering it’s price point and the purpose stated on the product description, I don’t think it should be compared with Premiere.

I am a cautious Internet user and most of time I don’t need a security system because I don’t visit suspicious sites at all. I use security software mainly for anti-virus and minimal internet security just for added protection, so I usually try to find a program as cheap as possible and as silent as possible so I can forget about it. This program serves the purpose and the price is reasonable.

Filmmaking and video editing are not strengths of mine or applications I plan to spend a great deal of time with in the future, but I would not consider myself a neophyte either. I have authored DVDs with other software programs, created titles, added subtitle tracks to movies, combined sources from multiple input media. I have tried Roxio Creator 10, Windows Movie Maker and a range of freeware applications. My objective in this case was to capture, contrast and compare a specific group of scenes from three versions of the same film and burn the files to DVD with menuing and commentary.

Unless there are some pretty radical changes in my file administration needs (and personal philosophy) the only intended use I have for this software is unzipping RAR files and occasionally, conversion to a PDF. There might arise some instances where I want to compress for attachment to an email, but not all that likely either. I suppose there is justification to adding watermarks to photos, if I ever make a practice of uploading photos to some sharing site.

Because, while I’m not about to go looking under the hood and I can’t see where the mechanics published any new exciting information about modifications to the engine, all I see are some rather inconsequential cosmetic changes to the user interface like the banner on the home screen now appearing as white rather than black ,Insight being relegated to a sub-menu,a link to download a power eraser tool if all else fails and something about a cloud there’s no way I’ll ever use.
