1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the hassle, April 8, 2006

By	Lisa "Lisa" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this software thinking that I could take my digital images, create a slide show with music, and then burn it to dvd for the family to watch.
Unfortunately, the disk that I got gave me some error messages that when I called tech support (one hour hold time)they told me that my error message meant that I could create files, but they'll only run on my computer, not on my tv dvd player. In addition, you need to buy additional dvd burning software, because the dvd burning software imbedded in this software package will only create dvds that will run on a dvd player with the Microsoft logo on them. (The package says the dvds will run on almost any dvd player)
So I asked for my money back. However, since it took me more than 30 days to find all of this out, they refused a refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Cool, November 2, 2004

By	S. Kameny (NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This software really shows off the power of your XP. Visually it is amazing. I am not so sure I would catagorize it as a must unless your computer is just for fun. For those of us with work to do the appeal wears off pretty quick.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, May 4, 2006

By	Rene' - See all my reviews

This is the first time I have ever reviewed a product and I do it so that no one else will waste their money on this. It adds virtually nothing to XP. Too bad they didn't make it as interesting as their packaged media edition. That would have been worth the money, but old Bill who doesn't want to be the richest man in the world would rather you spend money on a new PC to get that product. The themes are nice but far too few for the price. The games are a gimmick since you have to pay to play the real things. The DJ is dumb and the dancers are cute but after a while boring. Hard to figure out how to use the music converter and photo stuff. Too bad could have been something but in its present form, not worth the money.
