    Page 3 and no mention of Lotus Notes yet?

    It's slow, the UI was designed by aliens (or morons) and it's full of bugs. Worst yet, we use it at work so I have to use it.

    security centre aint that bad, its easy to disable and stop the service

    its a good addition that was well needed in xp (the option to not install it would have been nice though )

    I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Pinnacle, at least, from a quick browse, I never saw it. Specifically, Studio.

    What grief that gave me during coursework, I ended up having to get my movie onto a DVD by using another piece of software called Camtasia Studio to capture the preview pane and audio into a tiny little 4:3 ratio movie file; then streched to buggery when played back on the projector to teachers and moderators. Still got 107/120 for it

    AOL, luckily many years ago but I'd say real player sucks big time. It's everything I hate in one app.
