For me, as a recent switchover from PC to MAC, this is THE application that makes it all worthwhile. Still use a PC on the side and at work, I was extremely pleased that I can seamlessly share Excel, Word and PowerPoint files between the 2 platforms. Entourage, the e-mail/contacts/calendar application, is the MS Outlook equivalent for the MAC, except better. The Home & Student version that I purchased does everything I need it to without fail. By far, one of the best s/w applications that I use daily and has made the switch to MAC a cinch.

Of all the MS Windows(R) versions, this is the one I have liked best. Yet, it still gets only 2 stars? The "bang-for-buck" ratio is too low. MS Windows versions are too expensive for what they provide. It is time to consider the better alternative, Ubuntu 8.04 DVD.

Windows XP Professional is now a mature stable OS that I have become quite comfortable working with over the past 6 years. For a new PC recently built for my home office network I chose to stay with Windows XP Professional for compatibility with 2 other PCs running XP Pro, a network shared multi-function laser printer for which full function Vista drivers are not available, and potential issues with other older hardware and software.
Depending on the version, Vista offers some built in functionality not included in XP Pro, but Vista also requires higher end PC hardware than XP. Having some limited experience using Vista PCs, I have found no compelling reason to upgrade from XP, particularly considering potential Vista compatibility issues ... Read More:

I can't give the review I would like to because I haven't done all that you can do with it. So far it's great, I love being able to edit my pix!

Very, very frustrating registration process. After purchasing the product, I was required to phone (no email, no automatic registration as is common with other software products) Intuit customer support. I was then asked for my phone number -- we have over 15 phone lines in my company, four regional offices, etc. -- but I was told I HAD to give the correct phone number or I would not receive my "Validation Code". I already had the License Number and Product Code emailed to me after my purchase, but now Intuit required a third code -- and they needed my phone number to issue the code. Completely a 1998-era, poor customer service experience for their 2008 product. My recommendation is strongly to BUY SOME OTHER PRODUCT!

I have had this game for several hours now and am generally pleased with it. I had no problems with the installation with SecuRom, but I may have already had it as I own all the other expansion packs for Sims 2. Some aspects (such as the magic) may prove a little complicated, and there aren't any cheat or hint pages up for this game yet, so I've had to buy the guidebook, which I don't normally do. As for the apartment living aspect, it is very similar to dorm living in Sims 2: University, so experienced game users shouldn't have any trouble.
On another note, I gave this game four stars total because I feel a little misled by the creators. In chats and promo videos they stated that there were tons of new outfits and thirty-something new hairstyles, which ... Read More:
