Summary: Terrible product
Review: This is the worst product I EVER ordered from MS!! I give it one star only because this format won't allow me to give it a ZERO! It rewrites my harddrive every time I try to install....it tells me I must have the newsest version of Internet Explorer.....WHY.....it's a photo editing program!! Not a webbrowser! I have purchased two different versions of this....at Best Buy....which I might add will not take it back!! NICE POLICY..... I am a 54 year old woman who does not pirate software! I just want somethng that works as well as the old version....which was 2000 and somehow disappeared from my computer....and WHY does MS feel it is necessary to tack on IE to a photo editing program???
Please let me know if anyone else has experienced these problems..I loved the old version and wish I could replace it!

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE
Review: This program is very slow (so slow that any serious photo applications are un-doable). If you just want to print your photo with a fancy border around it or print a calendar it is OK. But do not try to print multiple photos to a sheet - you can easly spend more than an hour to accomplish it. The program acts as if it is the boss of the world - for example it makes it very difficult to do something as simple as shutting it down when you are tired of waiting and want to quit in frustration). It is useless for anything but the simplest printing of photos.

Summary: Pass this one up!
Review: This software prevents the downloading of your digital pictures to your desk top. I found this extremely annoying. Apprently, this program only lets you download intial photos into the program which locks you into " Picture It ". If you need to keep your photos into a seperate desktop file, you would be in a distinct disadvantage. On the positive side, it is extremely easy to format 8X10's in this program.

Summary: Do not buy this software
Review: This software program makes the incredibly easy seem so difficult. It takes 4 or 5 steps to save pictures to the gallery (or at least I thought...my pictures were not there the next time I checked). The software has given me lots of trouble recognizing my digital camera. It is cumbersome in every aspect. Thank goodness Microsoft offers a 30 day money back guaranty on thier products....
