Functionality okay, major software bug harms XP system, service terrible by tquinn Pros: Seems to do taxes okay
Cons: Major software bug. Advertised tax support not functional. May work incorrectly with some printers. I think the software is functionally okay. I'd used it in 2005, and was satisfied. As others have reported, its functionality is almost as good as Turbo Tax. But . . . When I installed the 2007 version, it altered the "permissions" in my Program ...

Brilliant Software for powerful photo and digital art by knitsnbytes Pros: Does ALMOST everything. Powerful for digital photography and art.
Cons: A bit daunting to learn if you are a beginner. This is, in my opinion, one of the best graphics programs out there--what's missing compared to the full-blown PHOTOSHOP? Just the printing functions that use pantone and CMYK and macros (saved complex strings of keystrokes) for a professional graphic ...

Over that period, I have used more brands and versions of video editing software that I’d really like to admit to – at least 7 or ...
