As an infrequent casual photographer who finds the inclination to pull out one of the cameras for special events or vacation trips necessitating a review of the cameras capabilities in the car or plane on the way to venue and then worrying about the results achieved once I transfer the pics to a laptop, this package is just about the perfect triage package for me. That said, so would be Adobe Elements or for that matter, based on how much I require of any photo editing software, Roxio Creator NXT.

For over two years I have periodically attempted to retrofit this software to my needs and objectives largely without success. That is not a condemnation of the application, it is an admission the capabilities here are vastly beyond my business needs so the underlying motivation to exploit it to the fullest is just not there. Frankly, the only thing I’ve really done is map routing and that is tragic misapplication, one that can be as effectively and efficiently accomplished with my GPS.

We had to use this program due to a delay by our tax person. Overall the interface was nice and it walked us through the process. We didn’t have any special forms need so that probably made it easier then from what I saw other reviewers have posted. It did offer some advice for 401 deductions. One annoying thing was that electronic filing costs $30 for state and feds. You get 2 tries and then they will charge you again.

This is a little late now that 2003 is coming out. However, for people wondering, this is a rock solid OS. Blue Screens of Death are rare now. It is plug and play so installs are easy! Microsoft is well on the road to providing a decent OS. Mind you this is comming from a person who is not a fan of the company.nNow this is not a gaming OS! If you have games that were written for 98, the probably will not work or will work badly!

I chose this program for my daughter who has taken to anime and Pixar and was curious to how animation works. It’s called a debut program and I found it offers a rather decent set of tools to play with animation. However, it’s not geared towards children as there is a lack of wizards to guide a person through the tools. There is a PDF and I found it would not keep my girls interest in playing with the package.

The amount of BSODs have all but disappeared. If you have a laptop, you can’t go wrong with this. NT on a laptop was a nightmare, but this is a great OS for it!

I had used their counterspy product and had been impressed with it. I had been meaning to try out vipre for awhile. The installer is small and it was easy to install the package. The deep scan was pretty quick. Didn’t time it against AVG but I think it was faster and it found a couple things AVG missed. The basic package will take care of viral and malware problems. I will say the malware detector is far better then Symantec and McAfee(used both).

I have used this to put all my papers, business cards,power cords and my Microsoft Surface. It is perfect for visiting clients.
