The product is what it is. But, Microsoft has made tracking the download link all but impossible to find. After 15 minutes, I found a support number. I feared that I would be connected with an Indian call center, but was pleasantly surprised … the Central American agent was very pleasant and helpful.
Still, my beef with Microsoft is the ridiculous difficulty associated with their software. Had my wife been able to get by with OpenOffice or LibreOffice, I would have gladly avoided the hassle and $90 expense.

The Amazon description notes Media: CD-Rom. Truth is, this product is a key card, only. If you want the key card version, pay ten bucks less and get it with Prime delivery.

The 2007 version was a huge disappointment and more expensive than the package price. The most significant expense came with the manditory retraining on use of the inefficient ribbon menu. 2010 is the prior version with few valuable enhancements. I had hopes for something better, but the menu is still not optimal. We’re looking into OpenOffice given its favorable pricing ($0.00) and more intuitive menu layout.

We decided to update the Win O/S bootcamped on my wife’s Macbook Air, as the Win 7 install had been corrupted during an automated update. What a huge mistake to jump to Widows 8.1 !!! The O/S no longer played well with the Air. Support of OpenOffice was … corrupting files. We pulled the plug of 8, and installed 7 … and what an improvement in our experience. Were it not for business apps my wife has need of running, Windows would begone.

My quibble is with the Business section, as it is really limited business. A competing product includes forms like 1065 which a family partnership would need. This leaves the product incomplete, and I feel Intuit is being disingenuous in their representation of the product.

Weve used TurboTax for preparing our tax returns for about 10 years now cause it makes preparing your taxes almost stress-free. It is the best tax return preparing software on the market in my opinion. Turbo Tax makes it easy for anyone to do his or her taxes regardless of their tax knowledge.nThe basic TurboTax program is free to use and takes care of all of the tax filing essentials, including the e filing of your tax returns.

Tried installing this and it never worked right for us. Always froze or would not even install. We don’t have trouble with other software on our Mac.

This is a very nice piece of photo editing software. It is intuitive enough so that people who do not have a lot of in depth experience with photo editing can pick it up easily and start editing. It is also robust enough so that experienced editors have the tools they need to work their magic without paying the high end photo editing software prices. I highly recommend it.

QuickBooks Premier 2013 accomplished what a lot of users were asking for, make the product easier to use so you could work more efficiently - no additional features, just a better experience. The reimagined and improved design helps customers to complete financial tasks faster, and with some new enhancements, it optimizes work efficiency. There are not really any new functions, but it looks and feels different from older versions. The 2013 version was supposed to be the first version of QuickBooks where Intuit officially supports Windows 8, but unfortunately, there are still problems, so update fixes keep coming out.

I have been using Delorme Street Atlas since 2002 or so. My wife and I have always been pleased with having the larger screen and greater navigation control of a GPS program on our notebook as opposed to a small dashmount GPS. If you currently have Delorme 2007 or newer I would not advise upgrading because this version doesn’t offer any needed enhancements that we use nor have I seen much of an update to road data.
