I wanted this product mainly for the video tutorials and they were exactly what I was expecting, they are very simple to follow and also provide very clear instructions on how to perform each manoeuvre (much better than listening to your instructor).The printable Theory test book is almost pointless, why not just provide one in the box (its large enough).

Microsoft announced that it will offer a new security solution to consumers at no cost beginning in the second half of calendar year 2009. This new offering will focus on getting the majority of consumers the essential protection they need by providing comprehensive, real-time anti-malware protection, covering such threats as viruses, spyware, rootkits, trojans, and other emerging threats, in a single, focused solution.
In order for Microsoft to focus on delivering this new security solution to millions of customers around the world, they have decided to phase out Windows Live OneCare and will discontinue retail sales of Windows Live OneCare subscription service beginning June 30, 2009.
I've dabbled with NAV since the days of Windows 3.1. I've never liked it - always found that it slows down my PC, is resource-hungry and dreadfully annoying with nags and pop-ups. But this 2009 version is very different. Very light on its feet with a small footprint and no noticeable adverse impact on PC performance. It's too early to say how good it is at protecting users from viruses, spyware etc but at least it runs very smoothly and is inconspicuous in use. Very good indeed. Nice one, Norton!

This is simple software on which to learn to type.
I initially learned on version 8. This version 20 is a step up, but not a big one.
Given the advances in computer power and game play in the last decade, it is a real shame they have not worked those changes into the software. It is painfully dull, even in the "games" sections.
However, if you want some simple software to learn touch-typing, then this is a safe bet.

Vista is the current format and it does not work with this product- ended up buying Rescue Your Videotapes and it did work! - just hassle buying and changing a product. At least its sorted out and it would have saved me time if I had known from the start. Anyway just check your operating sytem before purchase.

Typical Pinnacle fare unfortunately - more fool me. Ridden with bugs - at first it seems great, until you actually need to do anything such as change the speed of a clip or render to AVI. Mine will not do either, even with the latest patch applied.
I had a mainstream setup as well - motherboard, CPU, soundcard, DVD writer - everything except the power supply is mainstream componentry, selected with the sole intention of making it the most low-risk option I could. What a waste of time.
No doubt there are still those at the Pinnacle forum who think it's user error - it's a joke. This is consumer-level software, it should just install and run (like almost everything else).
I should have got a Mac and Final Cut. Next time, I will.

A few months ago I bought a new laptop which came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. I've now had the opportunity to compare Vista to my desktop PC's XP installation. In summary Vista doesn't make a compelling upgrade. Memory usage is considerably higher, the default User Account Control setup is so overbearing that I disabled it completely and from the perspective of the end user the new features seem to be mostly related to visual tarting up and transparency effects. These new features add nothing much to productivity. The frequency and volume of critical security patches to apply seems to continue as with XP. There are some useful features but most of these can be added to XP by using existing free applications. Not a worthwhile upgrade.
