I am a rapid fire touch typist and until recently I had no interest in voice-recognition software, because I type very well. However I was recently injured in a fall, and my left wrist is in a splint and I simply cannot type. This forced me, as a professional attorney with lots of writing to do, to investigate this Dragon voice recognition software. I have now been using it for about a week, and I can truly say that my life will never be the same.

Windows Vista with SP1 is a pretty darned good operating system. Its main problem is that Windows XP is also a superb operating system, and most users will have difficulty understanding why we needed more than an incremental upgrade from XP. To the extent that the Vista interface deviates from the XP menus, I mostly have found this to be simply irritating.
The main flaw with Vista is that it deliberately did not have backwards compatibility with many earlier-version Window drivers.

I have nicknamed this software Bugmaster. It lightened my wallet by $100 at Circuit City. I needed a program to edit a DVD home movie on a crash basis. I wasted an entire evening trying to get the software to work. It does not work. I tried it on two different late-model computers. No dice. I had owned a Roxio product 5 or 6 years ago, so I tried logging onto their website to see if there was a bug fix, but because I could not remember the ancient password, no luck there either, and although they said they had emailed me a new password, they had not.

Most laptops/notebooks seem to ship with Windows 7 Home Premium rather than Windows 7 Professional. That is probably fine for most users. However, if you need your Windows 7 Notebook to be part of a business domain network, you need Windows 7 Professional. This upgrade is how you accomplish the change.
It turns out that Windows 7 Home Premium already contains Windows 7 Professional; it is simply not enabled. When you buy this upgrade you are getting an upgrade key.

If you have high-speed internet access, you simply have to have this product. It kills those pop-up ads just about completely, and restores control of your desktop to you. I was being bombarded by pop-ups to the point where it was making me crazy. This product cured that.nMine installed easily and flawlessly during the duration that it took me to drink a beer. It immediately registered and updated itself. And I haven’t seen a pop-up since.
