Don’t just walk away from this purchase, run! This has got to be the worst photo software I have ever used. I think the Express stands for how fast you are going to get frustrated with using the program. From the ridiculous way it overwrites the original pictures to the slowness of the program, this software has got to be the worst out there. I’d rather use the free built-in tools with Windows than spend a dime on this software package.

Worked exactly as I expected. Installed onto a Dell laptop (i7, 8GB RAM) and had no problems whatsoever. I did a fresh/clean install, as I have learned over the years you never want to upgrade an OS, and it took about 45 minutes and we were back in business. I don’t have a touch interface, but I found I quickly learned how to navigate around with my touchpad. Since I use Windows both at the home and the office, I particularly like the new Skydrive integration – really makes keeping files synced between home and work a snap!

Sage continues their legacy with their 2013 version of the product. It worked exactly as I expected and needed for my business. Not much to say other than it’s pretty much the standard for small businesses nowadays!

We found that it had a lot of difficulty understanding us - and we don’t have that much of an accent! Many of the words we found we were having to correct manually, and it seemed that it was a constant struggle to get it to perform at the same level we were used to with the PC version. After a while, we just gave up on this particular package. We still love and use our Windows-based version of Dragon, but the Mac version has quite a ways to go I think before it will be an equal player.

Not really much I can say about this other than on a Windows 7 64-bit machine it did not work at all.

I would rank this program as Photoshop for beginners, which I definitely am! It was easy to get setup and use. I had struggled for quite some time using Photoshop to do some basic photo editing for my website and our lodge newsletter. PaintShop Pro made the work a lot easier. I was very impressed with all the templates and online help that they had when using the program. Most of what I needed for basic website use was available in a template form and took almost no effort at all to figure out and use.

As someone who has used Peachtree for my small business accounting needs for years I always felt that while Peachtree was a good program, it was far too comlicated and bloated for the average small business user. I wanted something that, quite frankly, made doing my books a snap – as easy as writing a letter – and I found it with Microsoft Accounting Professional 2008.
First off, let me state this – if you are an average user of the Microsoft Office suite of products then Accounting 2008 is going to be a snap for you to use.

norton has a trusted name and, as such, i went with it and gave this product a try. reviewing a product like this is a lot like evaluating the effectiveness of counter-terrorism programs. if it works perfectly well for 5 years, you never hold a complaint. but, as soon as your computer is infected with a virus, well, then it’s not worth anything. regular updates are quite important to acquire.

I sat on this product for a long time until my mother and I were able to sit down and map out the basics of our known history. The software is simple to use, easy to access, edit, save. Multiple ways of entry, interface, and recommendations are provided. This is one of the easiest tools to use and it is a great method of capturing legacies of ancestors … not just names and dates.

i’ve owned this program for one week. i was initially concerned, as it did not come with a manual. well, after a week, i’ve found that a paper manual is not necessary to fully operate this program. i can not claim that i’m an expert after one week, but, i do re-assure you that this program is quite simple to operate, it offers possibilities that i never before imagined in my previous architecture program.
