Symantec Norton Utilities ReviewDoes not work in OS X 10.4 + - Version: 8.0.2, 2/14/2006 05:12PM PST

I have been a long-time user of Norton Utilities (since version 3) and have considered it a valuable part of my computer support toolkit. Sadly, is clear that Symantec is no longer planning any updates or support for the tools since there hasn't been an update or bug fix in 2 years.

None of the tools that come with Disk Doctor work in Tiger except for the disk editing tools. These can be handy if you are trying to recover data that was erased from a still-functioning hard drive. But this function is hardly worth the cost.

I only give the software a slightly better than poor rating because it still works well under older versions of the OS from 8.5 to about 10.3.5.
