Ripped OFF! - hueco

1. Your "review" was based upon version 2.0 (see that 2.0 right next to your 5 stars?) and included a conclusion that you were reviewing software you had not used. I was simply quoting you. Instead of finding my quote misleading, you may examine the logic of your own statement.

2. If, then, you simply "reviewed" the new version based upon the new features list, perhaps you should have opted for commentary or feedback instead and ditched the 5 stars that belong to a rating/review? Those are additional options provided by Versiontracker.

3. May I suggest that you also read the product pages to increase your own comprehension? You are wrongly informed. Express has WATERMARKED Player and Screensaver features. For most intents and purposes, this is demo mode. If you upgrade from 1.8.1 to Express you basically gain very minor changes and announced under-the-hood improvements, some apparently earmarked for future updates, but you lose the ability to set sizes and codecs in your QuickTime exports. You are left with idiot labels like "Web." Which is more important? My opinion is that the Express version basically serves to strip out _crucial_ functionality already included in the software and thereby force an upgrade path to restore those very same functions (along with any actual new features). This free Express "upgrade" is thus a net loss. Again, this is not a criticism of the software per se or its ablities, but the promise of something that actually takes more important things away.
