Summary: It's great . . . when it works
Review: Got this for Christmas, and so far it's been a dud. I'm mostly disappointed with Farstone, but a little with .... too (the latest version is version 7, but here they are still selling version 6 at full price without any sign of 7 in the search results).Turns out that Virtual Drive isn't any more sophisticated at handling copy protection than any hacker on a newsgroup. In other words, a given version may not work with newer software. In my case, 2 of the main discs I wanted to create virtual versions of (Madden 2001 and Black and White) wouldn't work in Virtual form. I sent a lengthy e-mail to Farstone Technical Support outlining the things that I had tried to get it to work, and their response consisted of a list of things to try that was almost exactly everything that I told them I had tried already. The only solution I hadn't tried was downloading the demo copy of Version 7. I'm trying it now, but I'm not confident that even if it works I'll be willing to shell out another [amt] or so for another version of something I just bought. What I found most annoying was that everywhere I looked on the Farstone website (even in the e-mail from their TS dept.) it's made very clear that they are always working to maintain compatibiltiy with new software and maintaining a list of software that doesn't work with the current version of VD. However, nowhere on their site could I actually find such a list; I guess sharing it with potential customers might hurt sales. I may still use it for older games that don't have the same level of copy protection, but first I have to determine whether or not to even keep it on my computer at all. Ever since I installed it, I'm getting random crashes (blue screens of death, reboots, etc.), especially when the virtual drive manager is trying to launch at startup. All in all, not the best utility I've ever bought.

Summary: Love Virtual Drive
Review: Virtual Drive is the best software product I have ever used on my notebook computer. It saves me so much time. I don't have to shuffle CD's; everything is at my fingertips. This is great when on a business trip.
