Do not buy this product. I downloaded it...no problem. I then spent 2.5 hours filling in information for the resume. Upon saving it and exiting the software it crashed and nothing I did was saved. I have tried two other times and the same thing happens. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!! The problem is in the software and Amazon REFUSES to refund for a faulty product. Unless you want to waste $12 DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON!!!!!!!!!

Business Plan Pro Premier 15th Anniversary Edition Review

I am a consultant who works with small businesses on startup, growth, and cash flow. I'm no stranger to writing business plans. I've sweated through a number of them for my own businesses and those of my clients. Business plans are time consuming and costly, and really kind of a pain in the neck...until now. I'm using Business Plan Pro Premier version to write my latest plan. I wish I'd started using it years ago, I'd have fewer gray hairs.
This software provides more than 500 sample business plans so I don't have to start from scratch. I can find a similar business and use that as my guide to get started. One headache gone.
The software guides me through step by step asking relevant questions in easily understandable language. And the navigation is simple and intuitive. Another headache gone.
The financial features are terrific. I enter information step by step and magically I get a spreadsheet and even charts detailing my projections. I don't have to struggle trying to remember how to create a chart in Excel. Very cool! The cash flow features are awesome--and remember, I work with cash flow everyday for a variety of businesses in a variety of industries. Nothing is more important than cash flow!
The Premier version even allows you to do what-if scenarios with your cash flow--"what if my sales are higher/lower?", "what if my receivables don't come in as planned?", etc. Very cool feature. The premier version also gives you the ability to enter your actual numbers as you work your plan so that you can see your progress and adapt your plan as needed.
**That means the software continues to be a valuable resource long after your plan is done!**
Now, for those businesses that need to present their business plan for funding or to get investors...Your business plan can be exported to PowerPoint! That's an amazing time saver right there. No need to reinvent the wheel. And, when all is said and done you have a very professional plan (Small Business Administration approved format) that is ready for presenting.
This software gives you all the pieces you need to create a professional business plan with the least amount of headaches and time. I love this program!

Windows 7 Professional SP1 32bit (Full) System Builder DVD 1 Pack Review

Windows 7 Professional SP1 32bit (Full) System Builder DVD 1 Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you've reinstalled Windows just once in your life, you've learned enough to tackle a full virgin installation of Windows 7 from an OEM copy. Microsoft has finally created an operating system with so much built-in support and maintenance technology it practically does all the work for you, so if your current Windows XP machine is labeled "Windows Vista Capable" or "Windows 7 Capable," this is the way to go. Just to be sure, install and run Microsoft's Upgrade Advisor.
You can't upgrade from XP to 7; you have to wipe the drive or partition and perform a clean install, but even an upgrade from Vista to 7 is fraught with peril, so you might as well do the same if you're running Vista. Just back up your data and find all your application installation software before you begin. Once you activate this OEM version, it's married to the PC's system board. You can't reuse the product key on another machine unless you can convince Microsoft that the previous PC is out of commission. You're also not eligible for free phone and chat support from Microsoft, but there's a big enough expert user base that you should be able to solve most problems by joining a few Windows 7 users' forums. If you're not building an exotic tricked-out ubergamingmaschine with overclocked handmade graphics cards, you shouldn't have much trouble that will require outside help. Your humble author installed Windows 7 32-bit on a late-2006 Apple iMac using Boot Camp. Windows Update found a better driver for the ATI Radeon X1600 display adapter than Apple provides.
The biggest advantage: you'll skip all the "enhanced experience" software the likes of Dell, HP and Lenovo cram onto their otherwise zippy machines. After the latest updates install, head off to microsoft dot com slash securityessentials and you'll get all the virus and malware protection you'll need absolutely FREE. Pay a visit to your PC maker's website, let 'em scan your system and grab all the latest hardware drivers.
With the OEM version, you don't get both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. For most users bringing along their XP-generation software and most peripherals, 32-bit is the best choice, especially on PCs with a maximum capacity of 4GB of RAM. If your PC has one of the latest Intel Core i-series processors, you'll reap the benefits of Hyper-threading, giving you the performance of 4 32-bit cores. Opt for the 64-bit version if you have a PC with a Core 2 Duo processor or better and have boosted the RAM beyond 4GB.
So, if you're ready for Windows 7 and don't have a pile of cash to burn for the full retail version, order up and have a ball!

Peachtree Pro Accounting 2010 Review

Peachtree Pro Accounting 2010
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I brought this product because my old Peachtree Accounting Software is not compatible to Windows 7 64 bit. It is as good as the old product. The product itself in the accompanying CD is not compatible to Windows 7. However when you install the program with internet online, it will ask you to download files to make it compatible. Once it is done, the program works wonderfully. But it is a little slow every time when you open the program. When you are in it, everything is fine. This program has fewer options then the Peachtree Complete version. It does not has the fixed asset program if your company needs it. The payroll program is fine as long as you pay a premium to Sage company to update the tax rate information online. There are few changes from the previous version. You cannot change to another period if you did not reconcile you accounts. It does away the edit feature in the purchase/receive entry form. However you can still call up the invoices from the list button option and make change and save it. For a few month already, I did not find any conflict to Windows 7 and it is still working fine. If you do not need the fixed asset program or you have other fixed asset program on hand and your company is small. I highly recommand this product.

Pro Tools 9 Software Review

Pro Tools 9 Software
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
(FYI i purchased PT MP/8 from Amazon and upgraded to PT9 directly through Avid)
Yes, PT is the de facto standard among studios. Yes, PT is very rich in cool and useful features. Yes, with version 9 Avid has finally un-crippled Pro Tools so that it works with any interface and unlocks features previously available only to users of their dedicated-hardware TDM version (of course these features and the ability to work with any interface have generally been available in competitors' products).
But the sad truth is that the big studios that use Pro Tools use it on Mac-based systems with tens of thousands of dollars worth of specialized TDM hardware, and they have service contracts with technicians who keep it configured and running smoothly.
As a PC user running PT9 on native hardware, I have found Pro Tools to be extremely buggy. I installed PT clean on a new PC, and followed the (several pages of) hardware guidelines for setting up the box so that PT would be happy. I am using a new Avid interface. The virtual instruments I use are limited to either Pro Tools Instrument Expansion (PTIE) and Native Instruments Komplete (the latter of which never hangs or crashes under other hosts). Nonetheless, I have experienced frequent crashes and hangs. In particular, I can reliably expect that when I close PT down and try to restart it I get a message the "Pro Tools did not close properly and your system will need to be restarted." Likewise, Pro Tools intermittently fails to recognize my licenses for PTIE's Structure, and will crash if I open up too many virtual instrument tracks. Users who have invested in a 64-bit system should be aware that PT9 is a 32-bit product, by the way.
I have given PT9 a solid try but I have found that it is too unreliable for recording. I also own and use Ableton Live Suite (also limited to 32 bit), Reason/Record, FL Studio 10 (Producer), and Reaper. None of these products have the bugginess / crashing problems that PT9 has.
If you just want to learn Pro Tools, then getting PT9 for the PC is an OK choice. But if you really want to use it you may have to get a Mac (I can't absolutely vouch for this, but on the DUC message board I do not see Mac users complaining about these things the same way PC users do). If you can't afford to invest in a Mac, then you should probably check out Reaper, which despite its criminally low price continues to amaze me as I discover its capabilities.

With prebuilt spreadsheets, SBA-approved document output, and expert guidance at every step, Business Plan Pro enables any business owner or entrepreneur to produce a complete, accurate plan with a minimum of time and expense.

Why use software to create a business plan? Business plans are not rocket science, but neither are they second nature to most of us. You can build the necessary charts, tables, and document sections in office software, but that's time consuming and ultimately unnecessary. Business Plan Pro has everything you need to create a plan today, all proven and error free. Instead of reinventing the wheel, let the software handle the heavy lifting while you focus your time on executing your business strategy.
Recommended by experts, trusted by entrepreneurs Business Plan Pro is the most popular business plan software on the market for nearly a decade now, outselling all others combined. It is the recommended choice of the Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine, PC World, Inc.com, PC Magazine, Guy Kawasaki, and other experts--as well as thousands of successful entrepreneurs and business owners.
Get started quickly with 500+ sample business plans Say goodbye to writer's block. Business Plan Pro comes with over 500 real business plan examples to give you inspiration. You can browse the sample plan library by industry type, view a summary of each plan, or skim plans in a printable format. Find a sample plan that mirrors your general business concept, and you can use it as a guide to help you write your own--or even edit it directly in Business Plan Pro.
Built-in market research data for 9,000 industry profiles Having trouble finding reliable market research information for your type of business? Business Plan Pro has you covered. The software includes the most commonly needed data for virtually every industry, so you can compare your projected numbers to industry averages for an accurate business plan. This comprehensive collection of data is organized by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. Need to know what others in your industry are spending? What you should spend on marketing? How your initial cost per unit compares? The answers are provided automatically.
Impress your audience using the SBA-preferred document format Need a professional plan document to get funding or inspire your partners? Business Plan Pro produces a complete, easy-to-read document enlivened with colorful charts, tables, and more--all in the format preferred by banks, venture capitalists, and the Small Business Administration.
In addition to the printed document, you can also export your plan to PowerPoint for pitch presentations, to Microsoft Word or Excel, or to Adobe PDF format. You can even upload it to a secure website maintained by Palo Alto Software and share it with your contacts for collaborative review and discussion.
Track your plan against actual results for better business management Business planning is not just for startups. You can take your business to the next level with the Premier Edition's easy-to-use, powerful "plan vs. actual" financial tools. Just track your results and manage your business better by comparing your actual numbers to the figures you projected in your plan. These tools help you better manage your profits, expenses, and cash flow. You can quantify the areas where you are succeeding and identify parts of the business that may need more attention. Watching these issues closely can help you correct your course as you go.
Leverage your data in Microsoft Excel If you already have financial data in Microsoft Excel, you can easily import it directly into Business Plan Pro Premier and link it to your forecast. You can name, format, and include these tables as part of your plan, or use them behind the scenes for advanced financial analysis.
The Premier Edition will help you impress sophisticated investors with advanced investment analysis and valuation. You can both calculate valuation based on sales or earnings and calculate Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV).
Plan your cash flow to match the real world Many profitable startups and small businesses run aground on poor cash flow. The Premier Edition of Business Plan Pro 11.0 helps you avoid cash flow problems by creating what-if scenarios so you can test the key variables that affect your cash flow. You can also use the CashPilot graphical tool, which provides a visual representation to help you better manage three key components in your balance sheet that affect your cash flow--accounts receivable, accounts payable, and inventory/stock management.

Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 Academic US Review

Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 Academic US
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For all those who ask, "How can I take black & white photos with my camera?" This is the software tool for you. Don't shoot B/W in camera. Shoot color. It will give you more flexibility in the future. Then use Silver Efex to convert your images to black & white (or, toned duotones). Silver Efex Pro 2 provides even more granularity of control in editing than Silver Efex 1 (especially wrt Brightness, Contrast and Sharpness controls - but also by adding some edge and vignette treatments). It still has the wonderful breadth of film emulating effects and the ability to control the level of grain for those film styles (which span from low to high ISO). It still incorporates the Control Point technology which I love for making adjustments in specific points on an image - certainly more control than you'd get dodging & burning in a darkroom (and with far less processing & trial and error time).
Per the other reviewer's mature rant... I asked Nik's Cust. Svc. Dept. whether I could run Silver Efex Pro 2 in parallel with my Silver Efex Pro 1. Their (responsive) reply was that yes, it certainly could be done but that they highly recommended only running one version of SEP at a time. I haven't researched exporting custom saved presets from one version to another, but since it's possible to download additional presets from Nik's website I would suspect that one could port their own custom presets to another version too. I'll have to test the ones I created in SEP v. 1.
This is a highly rated program in all the well-regarded photo magazines and in the very reputable pro camera stores I shop at and seminars I attend. Thumbs up to Silver Efex.
