Microsoft Office 2000 Professional Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product was advertised as MS Office 2000 Professional (old edition). It failed to mention that it was OEM software which must remain with the PC it was purchased for. I am guessing they meant to put (OEM Version) on the description. I had every reason to expect I was buying a retail package. This software transaction was illegal.

Roxio Creator 2011 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, up front, I am a VERY EXPERIENCED Computer Technician and have used ROXIO since Version 5, thus, I am an experienced ROXIO user and know what I am talking about; this version however is a little disappointing. Currently I have a HIGH-POWERED Workstation, AMD 955 64-Bit CPU, 8 GB of RAM, LG Blu-Ray Burner, Plextor Burner, Windows 7 Ultimate, lots of "Goodies" installed, system is tweaked to perfection and has been running flawlessly since March of 2010. I installed ROXIO 2011 and immediately started having problems with my system ... and I NEVER have problems with it! The program loaded fine, but then it would absolutely NOT recognize my "LG Blu-Ray" Internal Burner. Then sporatically it would, then would not, recognize my PLEXTOR Burner. Then I started getting all kind of Windows 7 Operating System ERROR messages. Had to UNINSTALL the product and now everything is back to normal. By the way, I used "REVO Uninstaller" to remove ALL REMNANTS of ROXIO on my machine in the System Registry ... I recommend that all folks on PC's have that product to completely remove any non-functioning software systems (it's a GREAT REGISTRY Clean-Up Tool). Finally, if you are bound and determined to have ROXIO, then I would highly recommend setting a RESTORE POINT prior to loading it. Look, I am NOT against ROXIO products, as I've said initially, I have used their products since Creator Version 5.0, but something has gone wrong here, either they are NOT TESTING their products better prior to releasing them into the market, or just plain BAD DESIGN in their coding, either way, this release needs serious HELP; the product itself promises great features, but if you can't access DVD/CD Drives, it's pretty much useless. The SUPPORT situation with ROXIO is another situation, sometimes difficult to reach and followup via their Email System and it needs help as well; they send you an Email asking you if things were resolved, you enter your support ticket number, you see what has transpired, then you can't REPLY and send them any followup issues, it just keeps repeating the same previous support information, it's just like endless Email "Jail", I sinceley hope that they RE-REVIEW their product and get it back on track.

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 - Full Version Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're reading this. You're thinking of buying Windows XP home edition here are a few things to keep in mind.
First thing is, you might be able to get away with buying just the upgrade edition. The upgrade edition allows you to do a full install. It just asks you for the CD of a previous version of Windows. Also remember you can download service pack two from the Windows update web site. So no need to buy it integrated with XP.
These are what I consider the minimum system requirements:
256 MB of RAM. I have found is adequate more equals better.
500 MHz or higher will do.
7200 rpm hard drive will help a lot.
If you're running Windows millennium edition, or 98 upgrade now the stability is vastly improved. Gone are the blue screens of death.
Frequently asked question: is Windows XP Pro better than home edition?
Windows XP Pro has a more high-end networking features that most home users will never miss or would even know were missing. So for most users Windows home edition is fine. They both are based on the same code and are almost identical.
If you're thinking of upgrading from Windows 2000, I did, because I like the GUI interface better. But Windows XP is as stable as Windows 2000. So it's your call.
The plug-and-play ability of Windows XP is totally great! Windows XP will by default find most drivers for video card sound cards, network cards, etc. that is such a bonus gone in the days of having to search for CDs with drivers.
I recommend upgrading to Windows XP be it professional or home edition. It is a great operating system
Have some fun and get it done
