AVG not avg at all
Fast and prompt service. Instally and validated by AVG. Do not know why the USP bar code was cot off but it all worked out well.

Great product!
I used to use Norton but had so much trouble with it, I switched to AVG. I love the AVG. It is fast, and up to date. I only have dial up so it took a while to update the first time I installed it, but I have been checking for updates daily and the longest it's taken to update now is approx. 5 mins. I would highly recommend this product.

Best of those I looked at
AVG works great on my PC. I used Norton forever, but got tired of my PC crawling (I was also upset that over time my Norton Utilities just wouldn't run anymore in spite of using Liveupdate). Norton SW would use CPU cycles frequently. For a while, when the CPU delays were too annoying, I disabled the services Norton Event Manager and one related one. (Side note: even with Norton Internet Security gone, to keep my system fast, I still need to disable my Norton Ghost service until I can research a good replacement for Ghost).

I tried ESET but it used as much or more system resources than Norton, and the scan screen would indicate scan in progress but the stop scan button would be greyed out & I couldn't stop ESET from scanning.

With AVG my PC is fast again and it will buy me a year or so until the economy picks up (and after Vista is replaced) before looking for a new PC. As an added benefit, Norton Utilities programs that would not run while I had Norton Internet Security loaded began working again!

The anti-spam doesn't work well, although I have not trained it, I guess I'm spoiled on Norton's. But Norton's didn't do me any good, since it stopped filtering spam for no reason at all about 6 months ago. But I'm still giving AVG 5 stars since my PC's performance is so much better.

AVG 7.5
I had used Norton SystemWorks for several year until it became too burdensome for both the computer and renew/update process. I then tried the AVG free version for several years and I like it so well that I wanted to help support their effort so I am buying a copy of their Anti-Virus and Spy-Ware software. If you are not sure, try the free version and it will sell itself. I strongly recommend this program.

install issues --
I've used Rosetta Stone in the past and I am impressed by the lessons. My complaint has nothing to do with the content -- 5 stars there! However after spending close to 0. on a product for my personal use I would have expected a much easier process for installation. I had issues with each install step -- and perhaps these are related to Vista but without tech support there is no way to tell. My computer would lock up, wrapper errors and finally after 2 hours of trying to install the activation disk and two language lessons I launched Rosetta Stone and found the program did not respond. I install applications for living so I consider myself a good judge of what should be an appropriate systems response.

Calling technical support was no help -- they're not open on the weekends and only run a 9-8 operation M-F. Again -- after spending so much I would have thought the support would be there... Left alone, I researched the Rosetta Stone support site only to find that with version 3.2.11 there is a defect that requires a downloaded update. So now -- I'm waiting for a quite large file to install hoping that this will resolve the problem.

A+ for the content.

F for level of technical support and ease of installation.

Excellent software for Mac. No resale
It's true, as mentioned in another review, that you are not allowed to share or resell the software once you've purchased it. You also can't install it on more than one computer - so think carefully about where you want to use it. They really want to avoid you getting all you can out of the system and then passing it on to a friend.

That being said, the software is really good. I bought the previous French 1 & 2 (without the audio companion) for my family, since we are going to France this year. I have some French from school, my husband did not. The system is truly intuitive and easy to learn. You start learning basic nouns and verbs, colors, numbers and so forth, just like you learned when you started reading baby books. Before you know it, you're moving into much more complicated sentence structures and complex thoughts, but the basis has already been laid. We have learned a lot, and we've had a lot of fun. We will be purchasing Level 3 shortly.

So, overall an excellent program for learning, but they are very restrictive with how it is used by individual learners.

Great Product
This is a great product for anyone with some knowledge of spanish. It has alot of interesting activities that keep you engaged.

Very good Spanish program
I always wanted to learn Spanish and wanted to know more than basic words and sentences. I had tried audio CDs and other programs and never learnt more than several sentences as they did not engage me. I love the fact that tell me more has a lot of different activities and I am really looking forward to coming home and working on it. The voice exercises really helped me improve my pronunciation and I feel confident now in speaking Spanish. I finished 2 levels already and am sure that I will be able to reach an advanced level with this program. It is very comprehensive and still a great value.

Freelancer
Very informative. Almost too much information. I like it and it helps to know what to expect so one doesn't have to redo each episode as often.

Excellent Game
I was skeptical when I first heard of this game but once I started playing it I was hooked. The story is engaging and the graphics are good. I was impressed by the amount of explorable space, the breathtaking scenes shown in each system and the fact that you can continue to play this game for practically forever, thanks to random encounters as well as the many trade missions you can complete. I think the best thing about this game is the mods though, adding mods means adding repeatability, and there are TONS of mods. I would recommend this game to fans of space based games. I would also like to recommend that any prospective buyer invest in a good joystick, it will make the game even better. Logitech makes some good (and cheap) joysticks.

Awesome
The game has expanded since I played it in college. The Discovery mod has been the enabler!

Freelancer
-Great game, love all the aspects.
-Highly recommended for those who love space games.
-Amazing Story Line.
-Would love to see a sequel!

Good Game For
It's a good game for . but I would have been disappointed if I had to pay the original price.

Was purchased for a gift
I purchased this product as a gift for my brother who just graduated from high school and this is the program that he used in his webdesign classes. It was fast shipping and he says that he likes it. I know that he was able to create a very nice web site for my business. I only gave it 4 stars because i don't know anything about it and i've never used it.

Old version - still fine
Although this is an older version of DW, it does everything I need for a lot less money.

Dreamweaver CS3
As of this writing I am extremely displeased with my purchase. I have not been able to install the software. I contacted Adobe the manufacturer of the softwasre and was told the serial number was invalid and they could not assist me. I have followed the procedure online twice for contact with the seller and have had no response. I will be filing a claim with Amazon for a refund.

Great product, intuitive and easy
I'm a web designer (at least one that needs to use software like Dreamweaver) and I love this program. I had been using Microsoft FrontPage for a long time and was recently hired at a place where Dreamweaver was the standard. After using Dreamweaver CS3 for a few months at work I tried to use FrontPage at home and was so frustrated because I couldn't find any tools I wanted to use and preview mode was nowhere close to what the web page actually looked like. When making your web page in the Dreamweaver window it looks like what your web page will look like (with minor variations, which is to be expected).

Like I said, like all the Adobe products I've used, Dreamweaver CS3 is also intuitive. It does what I expect it to do and helpful tools are where I expect them to be. The drag and drop feature of the right hand file tree is one of the most convenient features I've ever seen in a product.

I would highly recommend this product to any web designer that isn't an expert coder.

Amazing RPG!
Without a doubt, one of the best RPGs of all time. Make sure you have over 150 hours of your life to devote to it, if you plan on finishing it.
The characters are memorable, the voice acting is great, and the myriad of different paths one can take is almost inconceivable, close to overwhelming.
Even without having played BGI, I was able to enjoy the sequel.

My only complaints are that there are a few bugs. A friend reported not being able to finish the game because of a software problem, and sometimes the game does not save properly for me. The second complaint is that there are SO many disks to keep track of.

A great game, and a must for anyone who considers themselves a fan of RPGs.
Every hamster has his day!

easily the best RPG ever
unbelievably great game. this has to be the best RPG ever made. the graphics are somewhat dated now since it is sprites rather than 3D, but the story and free form nature of the plots and subquests more than make up for it. plus the internet community is absolutely great.

I cannot recommend this game highly enough.

Does this need a review?
This is an expansion to the classic.

The gameplay is deep... breathtakingly deep. Unfortunately the storyline is worn away long before the gameplay.

Nonetheless, this game is epic... too bad this classic is only fit for the bargain bin or the true geek - it can't compete with all the graphics of today's games and the variable story lines of today's games/MMORPGs are able to shame it.... but you just can't get a good dog down!

Awesome game at a retardedly low price
If you have any interest in this game then pay the and buy it. I played it off and on for over a year and a half. I bought a PS3 a year ago and found myself playing this game on my PC more than anything on the PS3. Easily the best I have ever spent.

Great mystery game
Women's Murder Club: A Darker Shade of Grey. This game has a great mystery along with really hi-tech graphics. It's fun and I think people of all ages would enjoy this game. I would recommend it to people who like reading James Patterson books and the ones who like a lot going on in one game.

Give us more!!!
This was a really GREAT game......more are needed!! The only thing missing was more sound (voices). They really would be a lot more enjoyable to hear the voices.

Quick Look at designer 8
Designer Pro 8 has corrected several bugs with the 3d rendering and does not crash when the image is revolved. Additional add on items are appreciated.

Adapting to the new menu bar layout is easy and after a couple of time becomes fairly intutive.

For ease of use, I highly recommend this product

Great program but lacks a few details
Previously I had employed an architect to draw a garage addition to my house. Unfortunately I wasn't satisfied with the final result, and really wanted to save a little money so I decided to draw it myself. The program takes a little getting used to but it has a great tutorial DVD with it to help you get through the details. The one major thing that I haven't figured out or that the program doesn't have is the elevations that are required by our local code. In particular local officials want elevations from all sides in 2D, and this program only does 3D. (It is better for the customer to evaluate, but it won't get me a permit.) In addition I haven't figured out or it doesn't provide wall detail drawings that are required as well. The best thing about this program is you can design in full details inserting furniture, cars, etc., so you can make sure your spacing is correct. The 3-D models are awesome, and the variable camera angles, gives you room perspectives and building perspectives from different angles. I recommend the product, but don't think it will necessarily get you everything you need for a permit. It may only get you close, or if your local officials will except 3D drawings it will get you most of the way there.

Great product
I have never used a home design program prior to BHG-HDP8. It took about three week to actually get a feel for using this product. My goal was to find software that would help me design a second story floor addition on part of my house and add a family room with a garage below it. One of the hardest things to get right is the roof design, but after a few weeks of trial and error I managed to get the roof lines (which included several gable roofs at different highs and a second story with dormers)correct. One word of caution, there is a learning curve as with any new software and you need to have a general understanding of construction practices. Overall I am very happy with the results. Watch Amazon.com they will put it on sale for under 0.00.

Amazing learning tool, but supplement with other aids
I really love the Rosetta Stone Arabic program and I do disagree with some of the other reviews here. Arabic is a hard language to learn and Rosetta Stone Arabic is an excellent resource for hearing Formal Arabic outside of the classroom. I have been learning Arabic and using a dialect for day yo day life for a bit under a year now and I find Rosetta Stone gives useful vocabulary, insights on grammar and a great amount of interaction with the language.
That said, don't think that spending any amount of time with the software will teach you this complex language-- people who don't know a dialect will want to pick up something like Pimsleur or Michel Thomas or a simple phrase book with an audio cd so that you can get around for simple things and just have one or two things you can actually say. Buy a script book like Teach Yourself Arabic Script or Alif Baa, because Rosetta Stone uses only Arabic script and does a fairly spotty job of "teaching" the script. Finally, and most importantly, buy a book that will teach you how to make grammatical constructions! I've been working through Brustad's Al-Kitaab and the process is slow, frustrating and all of that, but using Rosetta Stone is an excellent component to a much larger language learning curriculum.

People need to be open minded. Try it. It works!
I took a chance on this software because I had read the bad reviews on amazon. I needed to learn Arabic for my minor and I wanted a head start. Take it from an 19 year old guy who hates learning languages: This software works! I just have level 1 right now, and after only one core lesson and it's follow up lessons (roughly an hours time) I can now identify several verbs, their female/male counterparts, nouns, individual letters, and a lot more to come. This makes learning a language seem obsolete. With Rosetta Stone, you understand the language. You don't need to memorize anything because you begin to associate words, sounds, and letters together with pictures and native speakers to reach a level of comprehension that seems impossible through normal studying. I hate learning languages and this was actually fun. It allows you to work at your own pace and do things as many times as you want until you get it right. Language teachers probably can't learn it because they are too busy with their own methods to be open minded to this software. If you want to learn Arabic, or any other language for that matter, GET ROSETTA STONE! It's made a believer out of a cynic.

Come on guys. No tech support? Confusing manuals? Review the software and whether you learned. This is awesome language learning software and if you are patient for the first thirty minutes of the first core lesson and trudge through, the next lessons completely help you understand every facet of the language. I guarantee you will learn something after your first 40 minutes. Ten minutes after my first core lesson, I learned several verbs and other vocab. Then every short lesson after that just enhanced the other areas of language learning. This software is well worth the money!

broken world
this expansion is fun but very hard. if you're in for the long haul,you'll like it. i started at level 45 and by the end of part 2 it was real hard. i feel it's worth the ten bucks i paid for it. bush hog

Love this game
I loved the original Dungeon Siege and Dungeon Siege 2 and naturally the expansion was a no-brainer for me. If you like these types of games, you probably will like this one. If you've never played any of the Dungeon Siege games, you should try the demos first. Some people love them, others hate them. I like the type of fast-paced play and the combat that DS and ones like it (Titan Quest) have, but some prefer a slower pace.

Dungeon Siege Broken World
This was a let down from the 1st part. I finished the 1st part at level 84 and found that Broken World was either to easy or hard. You need it to be right in the level or it was to easy or hard. Their was not an even leveling system in place which made the game un-fun or boring. Game play was very short for the money too!!!!! About a weeks play 3 hours a day or if you where not leveled correct just sucked!!!! Graphics excellent, interface very good and overall feel very good....

Another Round
I've heard some negative things about this expansion but I've had a wonderful time playing it, and think the replayability with another character class should be good. I'd recommend it.
