At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

"Pretty bad..."
Okay, right off the bat I have been using this for two months now. Not a long time, but long enough. And I know Pro-Microsoft users and workers will come out and bash me for a poor review, and that is okay. This is MY review. The 1st thing I noticed
PROS: It looks nice?
CONS: Overly complicated, not at all user friendly, annoying pop up Confirmation Window comes up all of the time, slow loading time, easy shortcuts are gone.

"Not well designed"
TRASH.... The gameplay is slower than the original playstation. You cannot upload music files from a CD. Linux is the only way to go unless you have an affinity for Mr. Gates wherein you should use Windows 2000
PROS: security opt.
CONS: memory hog, cant upload music off CD, Gaming is horrible

"WOW! Amazing...but this looks familiar"
The reflection effect was apple's thing, and so was the transparent thing in some Apps. The "Aero Glass Parading infront of you" is just as easy to use as Expo
PROS: Cool glass effect
CONS: Copied Apple's OS X Tiger...

"This monopoly takes way to long to catch up."
A free relatively functional closed-source OS? They are just trying to buy time. To keep us distracted with their betas so that you won't look elsewhere. Look at SLED 10, I'm not saying that Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop COULD replace Windows or Mac
PROS: It's free FOR NOW.
CONS: It is meant to distract from the competition.
