I’ve been using Corel and PowerDirector over the years. I like them for different reasons. Corel has always been pretty user friendly, so if I want to quickly edit something, that’s what I use. The interface is easy to use, the program has a number of templates, drag and drop effects, a variety of filters and transitions and professional looking titles. It’s also easy to load video, edit in the timeline, and make a cohesive movie to upload to the internet.

I’ve now used VideoStudio x4, x5, & x6 and like them. VideoStudio x7 is no different. I’ve also used other video editing software like Cyberlink and Pinnacle and I’ll say that the Corel products are probably the most user friendly, so if you’re a beginner, this may be one to look into. Honestly, you can load this on your computer and figure it out within minutes without looking at any directions.

Love it. Love the Word program, very user friendly. Easy for writing and editing my manuscripts in.
I LOVE the new publisher. Lots of templates and clip art to create unique designs. Makes things look really professional. Plus you can save things as just about anything, including jpg’s which is really cool.
Excel is just excel. Haven’t noticed anything different.
Admittedly, those are the only programs I use in office. May edit my review after I play with the other programs.

This is too bad, because I have other Cyberlink (PowerDirector video editing) programs that I really like. But this one, let’s see: install problems, slow, program freezes, computer freezes.
I think I’ll uninstall and just go out and buy a Blue Ray player. Not worth the headache, definitely not worth the $100 price tag.

I was very happy with this game- it took the bets parts of the previous Oregon Trail incarnations and wove them together for a good overall product. I can appreciate a company which recognizes both the weaknesses and the strengths of their products and uses this information to get better. In this Oregon Trail you can once again chose how many you will travel with and name them (for some crazy reason this feature was eliminated in the 4th Oregon Trail edition), but you can also CHOOSE the times you stop to collect wild fruit or fish, instead of these circumstances just happening randomly (which does not make as much sense).

I am someone who only has a basic knowledge when it comes to computers so I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to set up and run this by myself. As luck would have it the instructions were really easy to follow and I was able to accomplish using this without any other assistance.
