Although it does have an interface that is widely considered to be
lacking, it is a fairly elegant program, and is quite popular. As
far as being difficult to install on Vista, there are versions
available to address such issues. The only problem that I have face
with this program is the installer. The download size is
deceiving...as you are merely downloading an installer. For those of
you who are on dialup, such as me, that presents a problem,
particularly if you are accustomed to using a download manager or
would like to install the program on multiple computers. My biggest
issue lies in the installer; it constantly experiences problems,
from resetting the progress of the download to crashing all
together. All in all, however, I give this program a rating of four
stars.

Guest #295272 says 2 months ago #
