Summary: OK for basic file migration, but not real networking
Review: I bought my first laptop and for some reason assumed that a USB cable was the way to go for file synchronization. This product does what it promises (providing a primitive drag and drop interface to send files back and forth) -- good enough for a one-shot file transfer but not for day-to-day syncing. Your other applications do not get access to the remote computer, and you can't even leave the cable plugged in! (My win ME desktop would crash on startup, anyway.) [note: the CD promises an alternate software setup called "Virtual Network," but I simply cannot get it to install. QVS support claims that it is not intended for this product] Two days later I was back at the store to buy an ethernet card and ethernet "crossover" cable. It was cheaper than this, does everything I wanted, and was only a little annoying to configure through Windows.
